I asked him if he registered it and he didn't seem to know what I was talking about. Maybe his story is true.
Anyway, I'm meeting him tomorrow. I asked him to charge it tonight so I could turn it on when we meet.
What should I look for? Are there different versions of it like 1.0, 1.1 and so on? If so, which is good and which is not so good?
What should I be on the lookout for when I test it out and how do I test it for the various functions and so on?
I need help on this please. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
I thank you,
Mickey

Hi Mickey it's only 11:00 am here on the East Coast, LOL patience my friend, people will start to chime in.
you should look it over, no dings, cracks etc.
It should have V1.5 but no worries if it doesn't, once connected to wifi it should update itself. If not you can always go to BN.com and update it manually from there, super easy.
Just ask if you can have about 5 to 10 mins with it. Get to know the device a bit, Don't start tapping things like someone who just drank 10 cups of coffee and then a bag of M&M's. You have to remember the LCD tech is handshaking with the eInk tech, so it's tap ta da, tap ta da. It's almost like a waltz
Also if you have Barnes and Noble in the neighborhood, it may be a good idea to go there, and they should have Nook staff at the Nook display and have them run over some of the features etc.
hope this helps
