The Wi-Fi for the web browser works perfectly fine.
Overall, I find the nook perfect for my needs. I don't really annotate much, I just read & maybe the occasional Sudoku or chess with my friends. It's sexy and very easy to use. The LendMe feature was also very cool, someone on the MR forums lent me a book that I've been dying to read. 
Browse through the MR nook subforum, you'll find more interesting insights by the very intellectual people here. 
The only drawback is the unavailability of 3G access - not that it's important, since it's only useful for browsing the eBookstore. The rumored Wi-Fi-only model is coming out, and it's cheaper. So if you want to save money, I suggest you wait for that one.
All in all, I have no regrets buying the nook. And an awesome Alice Cover in Paper on the way, I'm happy!! |
haha! its coming out and cheaper? maybe i'll wait a month or two for it. haha! just maybe. what if they detect that we are outside of US? glad to hear you bought one you love so much. (: i hope i can buy one i love too!
