Late Christmas Present

I did it.  I finally broke down and bought a Nook, which I'm considering as my late Christmas/early just-because gift.  I've even got John interested in trying it out once he saw a few freebie Winston Churchill books.  The version I bought is the simple Wi-Fi base model, but now I'm wondering if I should've gotten the Wi-Fi/3G since I have to have a Wi-Fi connection  to download any purchases I make while home here on the computer.

While I won't pretend to be all that is smart and techno-savvy, I have successfully bought, downloaded and (get this!) transferred two Carina Press books over to Veronica (my Nook's name - it fits her personality).  And while I was at B&N today to get them to help me register the blasted thing (yeah, I threw myself at them and cried Uncle.  Again, I'm not the smartest geek out there.), the cute clerk showed me how to buy and download anything I wanted while in-store.  So, yeah -- now I have the new Jill Shalvis, Animal Magnetism, and An Invitation to Sin, the new antho with Jo Beverly, as well as Fatal Affair by Marie Force and The Bartered Virgin by Chevon Gael from Carina.  I even have a small list of freebie Nook books "purchased" so I can see if they'll download at work tomorrow night on the hospital's Wi-Fi.  I finally get to see if all the hype about RJ Silver's The Princess and the Penis measures up (bahahaha!  Yeah, I went there).

Stay tuned for further Adventures of Amy and Veronica...
