So my wife got me a nook for my birthday this year. With all of the Black Library books coming out as ebooks, and the fact that they are all a dollar cheaper if you buy them electronically, it makes sense. With all the books I read in a year, the thing will probably pay for itself before the year is out.So last night I broke the thing out of its box and powered it up. One odd thing about the nook is that it is recommended to be fully charged before you play with it. So I had to plug it in to the wall and wait a couple of hours.
Another odd thing my wife tells me (she has a nook as well) is that even though it uses a USB cable connected to a plug to charge it, it will only charge if it is plugged into the wall. It will not charge if it is plugged into your computer through a USB port, even though it is using the same cable.
