I know there are some of us on here, as I've seen people post pictures of cases and accesories. I just got a nook two weeks ago and am looking for different sources for books. I saw one suggestion for www.goodereader.com, which is a subscription website. I'm wondering if anyone has used them! Any other good places to look? Thanks!

I know you can get older books from books.google.com

Have no idea if you can upload to a nook, but they are free.

Check with your local library. You can borrow books from many that have the ebook capability. Also, look at the Nook forum online. Folks there always have freebies listed. Welcome to the Nook world. I love mine!

I've checked Gutenburg and need to get the adobe digital installed, Hennepin County library is about to start carrying e books, so I'll be checking that out. They are the first in the minneapolis metro area to carry ebooks.

So far, I'm loving it! I'm reading my 5th book on it! I've been a bit of a book worm lately. Any suggestions for good books?

If you wish to read some classics try www.mobileread.com. They have books formated just for your reader. It is free.
