Hi, I'm new here. I found this forum while searching for an answer related to the B&N Nook.
Got my Nook yesterday. Last night at dinner with firends, the responses were VERY interesting to say the least. Some were immediately taken, one or two were completely "hands-off" and one was completely turned off by it! The warm responses far and away outnumbered and were stronger than all others, but it was telling....
Anyway, I saw your post (and THANK YOU for your clarity and thoroughness).
With only one day, I appreciate your comments and share much of what you rreport. This morning, I had a lock-up that was somewhat disconcerting...... OK, I was freaked out! But it worked itself out in short order and I'm much better now....
My question to you is how did you find your Nook MAC address?
I have two networks that use MAC filtering and must provide them to get IT to permit my Nook.
Interstingly, they're perfectly OK with the notion of having an eBook reader on the company network......

Thanks again for your excellent posts.
