It always boggles my mind when people whine and complain about things that are free. It's not like they are asking you to "Trade In" your current ereader. But if you were thinking of buying the new nook or a nook color and had a current ereader, WHY NOT take advantage of it. Sure not all 300 is going to be of interest to you but some might or it might get you to read an author you more than likely wouldn't have in the past.
Egads people it's FREE.
