Ahhh, yes thanks for that idea. Sadly it was a kind of rash decision, not doing some research more fully. I can fully understand that B&N are simply having to conform to the Regulations pertaining to Copyright Law by Publishers etc. Just like Computer Software and Recorded Music i guess.
I was asked if i wanted something as a gift from the States and since i have been with B&N and bought a few real books from them for a while now plus their promotion-emails to me about the Nook, (along with the news i read on the subject of the machine being able to use Android HoneyComb), i thought it the better of all the e-reader machines. As a gadget freak too, i have a huge inexperience of Android (everything I do is mostly Apple Mac or Windows) so this would be a way to learn about current 'other' systems.
I have had an iPad Gen1 for some time now and have some 500 titles plus a mountain of .pdf engineering manuals for work on it but the machine i'm finding is actually a heavy beast for bedtime reading. I'm not really that excited by the iPad2 and the Nook just seemed perfect cost-wise against a new iPad and I hope perhaps to load my e-books onto it... and to better the e-book reading experience.
Either way I am really excited in the entire technology of touch screen reading devices so we see what happens when my NookColour arrives....
