Welcome to MR, Vespa, and congratulations on your Nook.
I love my YP-P2, also, but, I've never tried to read a book on it. I listen to music or a book when I work in the yard and have it set to stop and let phone calls through on my headset.

I may have to figure out how to read books on it, too.
Have fun exploring the forums and just ask if you have any questions.
