So consider yourself on coffee-break while you're here, then. I'm sure we have a few proctologists here who (thankfully) manage to check their occupation at the door. |

I'm assuming that the suit is over some alleged patent infringement. Probably similar to the one Microsoft filed against Motorola recently.

Thanks Kitten ... Yes he has.. sigh!
Raining...From what I understood in the article it is about Patent. I posted it wondering how Nook people felt Being promised something that might not happen. Yes I know a LOT that got ColorNooks for Christmas that have hacked them! But getting them 'legal' would help if the nooks broke. As it is the warrenties are no good to those that hack! |

Here is an article that gives thumbnails of each patent. They are all software patents, so anybody but the US SC wold invalidate them (IMHO )
