The Amazon is sold only online, even in the U.S. Less expense probably.<br /><br /> For that reason, I guess, they have a 30-day return policy, meaning you can return it within 30 days of shipping date if you don't like it.<br /><br /> Good luck on your decision re any ereader though! There are a lot available these days.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-18913549035096208442010-02-11T00:20:50.250-08:002010-02-11T00:20:50.250-08:00ok. no problems- followed your link and got inform...ok. no problems- followed your link and got information <br /><br />Nina<br /><br />ninalazinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-26848604829265015922010-02-11T00:19:51.151-08:002010-02-11T00:19:51.151-08:00thanks. but have not been able tp find it apart fr...thanks. but have not been able tp find it apart from online.<br />ninalazinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-19624050167527485802010-01-11T16:32:14.332-08:002010-01-11T16:32:14.332-08:00To NinaLaZina

And the 25-minute video guide by pro-Nook Matt Miller shows it takes about half a minute for his Nook to open The Lost Symbol book.<br /><br /> Agree re the text-to-speech feature. For me, the now-quicker web access to text-focused websites is key, but so is the better programming for simple things like dictionary look-up and Search function.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-87867719010143821372009-12-14T04:18:53.843-08:002009-12-14T04:18:53.843-08:00I also stopped in at B&N to get a "hands ...I also stopped in at B&N to get a "hands on" of the Nook (I have a Kindle2) as I've been touting the Kindle over the Nook. Not impressed with the visual/handling of the Nook over the Kindle. The color touch screen is interesting but did notice a certain slowness in response. However, the staff did download a "free" book (a sample?) and it was about like the Kindle speed. Page turning look like a page of a book was flipping over when the page-turn button was pressed--think the Kindle "page turning" is a little quicker. I prefer my Kindle over the Nook if for no other reason than the Kindle's "read to speak" feature which is not available on the Nook.Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03978483518216873259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-60480974975090173072009-12-11T16:00:40.173-08:002009-12-11T16:00:40.173-08:00Stephanie,
