Musicman, yes, the first thing I did after getting it and charging it yesterday was go to the B&N store (I live literally 3 minutes away from one - leave my secluded neighborhood, and can cross the main road directly into the shopping center
). I didn't see any in-store coupons for anything, but I did buy a chai and pretzel, and spent about a half hour reading a book on my wish list. I think I'll be there as often as I can get away
.
And yes, I do have a cover - my husband ordered one. It's an M-Edge Executive cover in purple (we got the Nook at Best Buy since we use our account to get reward points). However, I was drooling over the cute covers at the store. I like the M-Edge cover, although I've been taking the Nook out of it to read on the couch or in bed - it's just easier that way. So I may look into a thinner, lighter cover for home and keep that one for when I take it to work or traveling. I'm not allowed to fall in love with the $120 Kate Spade cover
. I'd rather spend money on something like that than on a designer purse, however.

Lastblade, I've been lucky this weekend - my husband has entertained the kiddo and let me read as much as possible. I'm hoping this may actually force me to take a lunch at work and read since we've been so busy that I've not been stopping for a real lunch
. I hope you get some time to read!
So glad to be here with some other Nook lovers - I've already learned a ton from just reading these forums and I greatly appreciate it!
