Okay...so dumb question, if the books don't require activation but the Nook and Nook programs do, where can you use Nook books that would have you punch in your username/password?
I'm sure I've seen store displays with the Nook 1 where there were books on them that I couldn't actually open-that would prompt for that info (which is also why I figured you could have that info permanently entered on your Nook...or not, and it would just prompt you for that).
At least theoretically B&N doesn't use activation, which is cool! Wish the Nook 2 had better buttons, but other than that my first reading experience on it last night was pretty good
