We got one too. It was my wife's entry into the eInk world after holding out for years. The basic Nook was on offer at a very cheap price. I think she only paid about £25 for it.

Now, of course, she's got a Kindle Paperwhite while I'm still gamely using my Sony PRS-650.

All the Fictionwise titles that made it across to B&N are in my Nook UK library, along with later purchases, mainly copies of Asimov's Magazine. It's going to be interesting how they handle to transfer to Sainsbury's, but I agree, it will be nice to be able to download without jumping through the hoops.

Except, of course, that Asimov's isn't available at Sainsbury's.

Here we go again.

I've just been reviewing this thread:

I think I'm right in thinking that if I subscribe to Asimov's through Amazon I could get it delivered to my wife's Paperwhite (through the library sharing feature) and from there get it transferred out via USB and via the usual route to convert to ePub for my Sony. Is anyone doing this?

Given that Dell are clearly happy to distribute the ePub DRM-free to B&N it's amazing how difficult everyone else makes it for us to read Asimov's in eInk!
