Sorry, I meant "free ebooks". One of the web pages they were floating around said "1000's of free ebooks". Once I wrote Support, it seems to have disappeared. So, that criticism was accurate or they would still be using it as a selling point.

WiFi - It doesn't matter where you are - it's not network speed that's the problem. It happens on any network you're on - it's just slow. I have yet to find a network that will stream youtube fast enough to be usable. I have tried all of the coffee shops around here, 2 or 3 restaurants, and b&n itself. Same problem - way too slow. IF you have the video downloaded, then yes it will play correctly - but that's not the point. In fact, I can connect it to my home network, pull up the same video on my PC via wireless, and it will play while the Nook will not.

But, like I said, don't take my word for it. Try it yourself.
