Thanks for the info AnemicOak!

I have calmed down a bit and realized that I will have many options for non-Drm and free-books. Also thanks for reminding me of the pre-paid visa,etc.. and will check if B&N actually accepts those or have some other restriction I don't know about.

Also would like to find cheaper alternatives as $8 is kind of steep for older titles. They wanted $7 for Robert Jordan's 1st book of Wheel of Time and $8 for the rest in the series.

I guess they want me to stick with free and library? Or for many torrent them?
Seems kind of a gouge when I can buy used paper backs for $3 ea for the wheel of time series at a bookstore that has to buy shelve and track an actual book.

Been reading with it and like it a lot. Just hope firmware upgrade for Genre category? As I may download a dozen or two free books by genre interest and don't remember the titles and authors but if I am in mood for Scifi then would like to scroll thru scifi books only.

But so much for my ramblings and thanks again for your feedback.
