I was at a friends and they were telling me about a couple of books I would want to read. I immediately grabbed my nook and purchased one of them. This is the first time I actually paid for a book with my nook and I discovered two things I didn't like. A minor one, I had to pay sales tax. A major one, my purchase went through but the nook never actually downloaded the book. I even checked this morning and the book is still not available on my nook or my nook iPhone app. My friend of course pulled out their kindle so they could show me how Amazon does it right and books download instantly. I ended up having to manually download the book and load it on my nook. What is the point of having a 3G device if it won't immediately download purchases? Is this normal for nook purchases or a weekend glitch?
