And then there's the squirrelly software on the Nook. You have to be very careful where you touch that pretty little screen at the bottom, because if you touch it in wrong spot you get flung back to the first page of the book you're reading...with no "Go To Page" function to get you back to the page you were reading. This has happened to me on every book I've read on it, and depending how far I was into each book and whether the book had chapter numbers (not all of them do) it has taken me as much as 20 minutes to get back to where I was when the Nook flaked out. Life is too short and my books are too long to waste time with a buggy reader, so I gave up last Friday and bought the Sony 300 and moved all my Kobo ePub books to it. I love my Sony, my Kindle and my iTouch, but the Nook...not so much. It sure is pretty, though. Maybe I should frame it instead of chucking it into my Box of Misfit Electronics with the old cell phones and MP3 players.
