peppysfireball Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 I had never heard of them until recently, but I knew Limewire and those music sites were shut down. Wouldn't the other sites be shut down also if they didn't have legal stuff? I did see a lot of stuff that said legal. Now you've scared me and I'm not looking there again. There are hundreds of free books out there, I get more from Amazon each day. People on amazon kindle discussion page say they almost never have to buy books as so many are free.

nat1jen Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Any opinions on the refurbished Nook sold at Overstock or on Ebay? I returned my Sharper Image Literati reader to Overstock today. It was a real piece of crap.

It was a real piece of crap. Bought a refurb from ebay. But for the refurb sticker on the box, you couldn't tell it was a refurb. Looked brand new and works great.
mgmckny Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Any opinions on the refurbished Nook sold at Overstock or on Ebay? I returned my Sharper Image Literati reader to Overstock today. It was a real piece of crap. Bought a refurb nook from the BN site on ebay, went back and got the 3g/wifi version for myself after Christmas, have been reading for days...... Couldn't tell it was refurbed except for the sticker as someone else stated. Both are working great, dh just doesn't want to use his, he's being obstinant.

I am looking at the 3g version....Have you downloaded any books from your library?
nat1jen Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 OK, I caved and bought the refurb Nook! :) The only bummer was that I had to pay $9 in sales tax. What kind of case did you Nook owners buy to protect the Nook? They have so many on ebay with free shipping. The Sharper Image Literati came with its own case. The case was nice; too bad the Literati wasn't so great.
mgmckny Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 So glad that you are happy with your refurbished Nook. I am looking at the 3g version....Have you downloaded any books from your library?Not yet although our library has been doing interviews with the local media giving instructions on how to access it. I haven't renewed my library card in the last couple of years so I need to go get one of the newer ones that have a pin on it for use online....
tast Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 Going to B&N Monday or Tuesday for my nook color,should I take a warranty there or is there somewhere cheaper to get it? I recall reading something earlier on this..

The case was nice; too bad the Literati wasn't so great. I bought DD and I these 3-in-1 packages on ebay with synthetic leather cover, skin, and screen protector. They were very nice. the screen protector is, as usual, hard to get on without bubbles.

dullestbear Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 i got a kindle for my birthday. So far i love it. I can download books very quickly,
amyers12345 Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 The screen protectors are impossible! I finally got one on my kindle and took it back off because of the glare, even indoors!
peppysfireball Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 I Bought an antiglare one,. After a pair of tweezers put a chip in my glass that leaves a black spot all the time, I'm not taking any chances. Luckily it was within the 30 days and they sent me a new one next day.
beck6100 Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I like the both but still can not decide on which one either. I want to get them next christmass for dd so I am sure hoping the nook color comes down in price since that you can read in and outside with.
kathi29 Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Going to B&N Monday or Tuesday for my nook color,should I take a warranty there or is there somewhere cheaper to get it? I recall reading something earlier on this.. I get my warranties from Square Trade. There is usually a coupon code to be found, so search around before paying full price.
kathi29 Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 It will be harder to read outside on the Nook color than the original Nook. The e-ink on the original is just like holding a book in your hand; the backlighting on the color is what makes it difficult to read outside.
SuggaD Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 For any of those with an ereader, I highly recommend downloading calibre...a very powerful little program. I'm having fun using it to convert ebooks and expand my Nook library.
peppysfireball Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I have a kindle and I use Calibre too. It's great.

kathi29 Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Easy peasy to download, and pretty user friendly toohttp://calibre-ebook.com/
tast Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 Hey everyone-I finally got my nook color and I LOVE IT!!!! I may need your help-I registered it in store and bought one book now charging!!!
tast Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 Where is the best place to but covers and charms etc for the nook color?
kathi29 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 If M-Edge has covers for the color, that is where I would look.
tast Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 I checked m-edge did not see any..what kind of site is that? it looked liked marketing..
kathi29 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Sorry. Here... they do have Nook color covers. http://www.medgestore.com/products/nook2/
