Same with library books. Yep, I love that I can put all 11 books in a series I just started on my nook from the library. There's $100 B&N won't be getting from me. And that's just the beginning - I've got a pretty good wish list going. Again, I suspect Amazon's got the better business model. Add that they generally have better pricing (aside from that lovely agency model) and better selection for me, Amazon gets my money for e-books.

This is
since the OP is requesting for info to buy books on the Nook.
Anynow, I'm glad that you're loving the Nook that you got from ebay as a second ereader just to read library books. It really beats the hassle and legality of stripping DRMs from library books for the kindle.
I've been reading primarily free books and library books on the Nook and have been loving it too. I've bought only a couple of ebooks that I really really like after browsing them in the B&N store. I honestly can't see spending too much money to purchase DRM restricted ebooks frome either B&N or Amazon. It doesn't make good economical sense to me to buy books that I don't own at the price that is sometimes more expensive than the paper backs. I can't read them in another reader or another device unless I have to install some apps or strip the DRM. Besides, I can't lend them, can't share them, can't donate them and can't sell them. Since I am not keen on reading newly published books or the hottest NY times best seller, there are always great free ebooks in the public domain and from the library to last me for a life time.
