Thanks for the reply. The initialization program or script on the NookColor 1.1.0 would not let me use the device until I gave it my email address and credit card info. I looked for ways to avoid it without success. I have heard that you can circumvent the initialization, but then perhaps you can't get updates?

I do lean slightly toward paranoia, but with DRM software and indexing software sifting through your filesystems on most Windows computers, how much privacy do you really have?
I already have two email addresses, but neither of them satisfy the need of having a direct Gmail account.
But my real reason for writing was to seek confirmation that I need to have
wifi available to run auto-nooter 3? If so, I can't root at home. And I really did buy the NC to explore its potential as a tablet.
The NC is a neat epub reader. A bit heavy and bulky for an mp3 player. But I'm enjoying exploring what it can do and might even experiment with making my own content. Thanks.
