Hi,

So excited getting my Nook yesterday via Vpostasia shipped from its US address to my home (Bangkok, Thailand). Not sure I'm the first Nook owner here 8-)

Overall, I'm impressed with the built quality and its functionality. Though I have no experience in any other dedicated ebook reader, I can easily navigate Nook without a hitch. The only gripe is the very slow movement of hilight cursor when choosing word for dictionary lookup; however, the lookup function is fine to me.

I know that I cannot rely on the simcard. Last night I can connect my Nook with my home wifi hotspot. I can load B&N catalog without problem, actually, very smooth operation.

The problem is I can't register my Nook. I already have my account in B&N. I've tried it several times last night and again this morning via wifi. It always came back with error message something like "sorry I cannot register right now, please try again" (not the exact wordings). I'm not sure Nook block non-US ip on this respect?

Another questions: anyone know what is the specification of custom wallpaper size, gray scale, filetype; also the screensaver? I can place my own wallpaper image in the wallpaper folder; but the photos I put in screensaver photo was not showing up. I need help.

Thanks in advance for your suggestion.
