5. You can't access the Gutenberg Project, etc., through a nook simple touch.

The simple touch is just a plain e-reader, no tablet features. It has a wireless connection, but only to the B&N nook library service.

It was a lot easier to just go online and do all my book-hunting there. I set up a folder called "TBU nook" (to be uploaded to the nook) and just DL'd every book I wanted into there.

Then plugged my nook into the USB port on the computer, and found the nook and the memory chip in the nook in "my computer" and copied everything directly to that--very fast, very easy.

I am seriously thinking of putting in some copyright enquiries for "old favorites," and if they are out of copyright, scanning and cleaning them up and donating them to the Gutenberg project. That is an AWESOME resource.

helpfully,
Bright
