Oddly, I had found the forum before I had my nook... but that was because of doing research on e-readers before buying. But I agree, probably a lot of nook owners don't know about the forum. I spread the news where I can. Including on facebook.
I have to admit, hubby and I have mostly relied on our local library for new reading material, as well as the occasional paperback purchase. There's not much for book stores in town, though one store actually has a nice feature, you can *rent* a bestseller for a small fee. I've taken advantage of that on occasion as well.
Anyway, our library only added eBooks just this year. I think knowing that we could borrow eBooks via nook was a big factor in our purchase decision, as we were torn between nook and Kindle 2 at the time.
Oddly, the librarian mostly in charge of bringing us eBook lending does not own a nook, she owns a Kindle. Kind of weird, but oh well!
I agree, one of the nice things about nook was being able to go see it in action in person. We tried to do that with Kindle at the Target display, but the display only had a rotating screen going on the Kindle, you couldn't actually play with it and use it.
Anyway, even with Kindle 3 out, still happy with our nook decision, because we love the library thing. I've read one library book already, have holds on more and waiting anxiously. I suppose most folks don't return early, but I plan to make a practice of that myself when done with a book. No need to make others wait longer than necessary for their read.
