So I solved my wi-fi connection issue by experimenting with various settings on the Nook. This is the first experience with Android for me so there will be a learning curve, but so far so good. I am loving the Cool Reader application. I was concerned with the eye strain of extended reading on a back-lit device, but that application makes almost like reading a paper book. The File Expert application is also excellent thanks to whoever it was that mentioned that in the forum) as a means to transfer ebooks and other files from my computer to the Nook.

There are a couple of annoying things I have noticed though. Is the power button supposed to be so unresponsive for powering on and off? The home button as well, why does it not always take me to the home screen but sometimes to a screen that just shows the last few applications used? Also is it normal that some parts of the screen near the edges are unresponsive to touch?
