And I noticed it does use epub, how easy is it to add my collection I have now? They are DRM free.
I also have Calibre, it is a good option to use with the Nook. I also read somewhere that it will upload book covers to the books I currently own, is that correct?
Thanks again for all your help. You all have been wonderful and very patient.
I really like this community!

1. yes the secondary screen does go into sleep mode. You can set it to 10 sec. 30 seconds or 60 seconds.
2. I too use Calibre, it's the best isnt it. Yes if the books you bought are encoded with book cover art then yes it will alslo load onto the Nook and will show up when you select that book But only books bought through BN will have the Coverflow feature.
This is truely a delight to read and alot of fun to use. Oh Yeah I forgot Free Fridays as well. Every Friday they give you a Free Book if you want. Some are good, some OK some are stinkers but it's great fun extra feature anyway.
Also this is just fantastic outside in the direct sunlight, it actually enhances the screen contrast, so if you like reading outdoors by the pool, beach, backyard etc you do have to that into consideration over the Sony's 900, people will downplay the glare but make no mistake it can get plenty bad.
