Hi! I'm getting ready to get a Nook tablet (won a $200 gc to BN!) Just a few questions before I dive in.

I already have a Kindle and iPad, so basically this will be a backup or for travelling - I'll most likely just be using it for games and movies and the occasional email/internet (and I'm addicted to getting gadgets)

1) Do they have an appstore like iTunes? If so is it ok for a Mac? Is it easy to buy apps? And can/should I only get them through bn?

2) I heard you can load your own movies on to it, but what is the format? Most of my movies are .mp4 for the iPad - would I have to reconvert them?

3) Does it really matter if I get the 8gb or 16 gb? Or should i just get the color? I already have a 32gb card so I'll most likely put most of the stuff on that.

Anything helps! I don't know if I'm more excited about winning the GC or getting the Nook!!

Thanks so much!!

Kat
