I just got a nook a few days ago and I really like it. I have a few basic questions though.

1. Why can I look up words and change the font when using ePub format books but not PDF?

2. Does the feature that shows the book covers on the touchscreen not work with books you transfered from your computer instead of buying them from B&N?

3. Any suggestions for a durable cover alternative? I am in South Korea at the moment and I don't see being able to have one from B&N shipped here (high shipping costs and tarifs).

EDIT 4. Is there any way to change the time? My clock shows the right hours but is a few minutes off.
Thanks in advance!
1. The PDF format was developed to always look the same on every system. Everything is fixed, and not meant to be changed. This is the reason most PDF files (created for a larger screen) look bad on a 6 inch reader.

2. "Coverflow" does indeed only work with books in your B&N library. If you use Calibre to put your other books on the Nook, it will create a picture of the cover that is shown on the touchscreen.

4. My clock is also some 5 minutes fast. As yet I have found no way to force the Nook to synchronize the time again with my wifi network.
I hope that in the next firmware it will be possible to adjust the time.
