If "yes", then you need more memory than a 300 provides.

But I'm betting the answer is "no."


BTW, the Nook looks petty cool, and may be a decent ebook device. (I haven't checked one out in person yet.) However, the small color lcd display is purely a gimmick imo. 99% of my ebook time is spent READING, with just several seconds between books spent on selecting the next book to read. So the fancy menu display/graphics is largely a waste of resources and battery imo. Ebook devices are mostly about reading screen after screen comfortably, like a book. And I bet that display chews up extra battery life. One of the best things about the Reader is its extended battery life--weeks between charges, so it is always ready to take along.
