Definitely some issues with the purchasing system. I got the nook for my wife for Christmas and was setting it up tonight, adding pictures, joining our home wifi network, transferring some Calibre-formatted epubs - I was pretty impressed with the device, right up to the point that I went on BN.com and bought two books. The first (an epub) had the above-mentioned problem - 800+ of blank white pages. The second (a PDB) refused to open because there was "a problem with my credentials," and it refused to take what I KNOW is the correct name/CC number. Really leaves a terrible taste in your mouth, especially compared to the Kindle, which already had my purchased content sitting there before I even got it out of the box.

There are a lot of things I really like about the nook, but the #1 most important feature - ease of purchasing - has been total fail so far. Hope I can get find a resolution before Christmas Eve so this gift doesn't turn out to be a lemon.
