Just had another look at the local library's website and they have access to NetLibrary and Overdrive. I believe both are compatible with the Nook and Sony Ebook readers among a few others. Kindle isnt on the list.
Did a little covert intelligence gathering with my girlfriend the other night and she mentioned that she gets most of her books from the Library and rarely buys books from B&N. She may go there to have a coffee and meet with a friend, but thats about it. (shes as frugal as i am it appears).
As much as id like the better piece of hardware, it seems the Nook is the better choice for her (i know we established that earlier). Still have plenty of time to cancel the order with Amazon.
I really wish there was more info on the Nook 2 available. Her son works at Best Buy and should be able to get a decent deal on the Nook. It appears they have a 30 day return policy which is better than the 14 day at B&N. Maybe wait till the day before her Birthday, grab the nook and then have till October 31st to see if the Nook 2 gets released. I guess i could always Ebay it, lose a few bucks and then grab the Nook 2 when it finally does get released.
Read some reviews at Best Buy about wifi connectivity issues with encryption turned on. Maybe i should stick to the 3G version.
