Hello from Southern California
Hello/Bonjour/Nazdar,

Just got a NookColor and
found out BN does not play very well with others:
so nosing-around for threads/tips on side-loading.
In the end, probably just root and get dedicated applications.


====++++ TO THE EDITOR: ++++=====

Well done site!
Nice use of subtle graphics, great anticipation, & easy-navigation.

-Tomas

Hello, Thomas. Welcome to Mobile Read.
What do you mean by side-loading?

"side-loading" as opposed to "direct-loading"

Prefer to use my PC to find books (quicker/safer/backup) so download books to it.
Then load onto NC via USB cable ("side-loading" as opposed to "direct-loading" of NC from internet).

Why pay BN when a classic is already on Gutenberg,
unless I want some special version because of its formating or illustrations?

Speaking of Gutenberg, he must be rolling in his grave,
when now we can have a whole building worth of books
on these small wonders!

Also, when I was studying at UC Santa Barbara,
they were just starting on the cartography portion of Project Gutenberg.
