I got mine today and it works perfectly. Actualy he was a positiv suprised for me, since I expected much more problems, for what I have read the past weeks about the Nook.
Connecting it to my home wi-fi network: No problem
Registering it to my B&N account: No problem
Downloading books, I had already in my online library at B&N: No problem
Downloading samples via the Nook from B&N: No problem
Buying books via Nook from Germany: Not possible, you have to buy them online via your pc and a vpn routing
Calibre and Nook: no problem. Calibre recognized the Nook right away and I could send books from Calibre to the Nook
Adobe Digital Edition: no problem. Adobe recognized the Nook and asked me, if I want to add it. I could send epub books with DRM to my Nook and open them.
But one of the biggest suprise for me was the touch screen. Folks, I realy don't understand, why you have problems with this screen. Mine reacts fast, precise and reliable. When I'm reading a book I have absolutly no problems at all to turn the pages with gestures. You hardly have to touch the screen at all. Almost as good as on my iPhone.
I need much more contact on my Sony PRS 700, than on the Nook
So overall, I'm extremly happy with my Nook. Ok, there are some downsides, like bookmarks, hightlight etc, that are known. But I'm absolutly sure, that these will be solved in a short time of periode. Ok and a cover would habe been nice too.  |
From Germany as well...
My Nook will arrive within the next 3 days.
Has yours been registered in the US? Or have you been able to register yours via WiFi?
Is accessing your B&N account the whole process of registration?
