My first purchased ebook was George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones. Couldn't resist, was playing with my Nook to see how shopping worked and there it was, only $4.99. Haven't read it yet in ebook form, but hubby is reading it now. He says there are quite a few OCR errors, sigh.

Ah well, I want to re-read before the TV version comes out and it'll be lots easier to do in ebook form than lugging the hardcover around. Besides, my hardcover is a lucky find first edition, so I wouldn't lug it on the go with me anyway.

First book I actually READ on the Nook was a Google PDF of Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea, a childhood favorite. Which unfortunately, did not give me a particularly good impression of PDFs or Google's scanned public domain books.
