B&N offers sales on Tuesdays, and other very cheep offerings. When I look at B&N marketing of the Nook, the rarely updated Nook Google+ page, and lack of advertisements, it is feeling like a dead product line. I'm glad your son wrote to you, as his comments are correct. I wrote an article on how to transfer library books and other ePub books onto the Nook hardware if you want to share this: http://www.ericrounds.com/2012/01/how-to-transfer-epub-books-onto-your-nook/<br /><br />Lets hope the Nook stays alive for a jolt of new buys to the ebook market!Eric Roundshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052049257439952837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797733236355049487.post-79671175202619823452013-03-28T11:39:16.500-06:002013-03-28T11:39:16.500-06:00I hadn't thought of it from that angle.

It's nice having a B&N store where you can ask for help, especially for Grandma.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09020966780454775460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797733236355049487.post-52370801965064262962013-03-28T11:36:12.169-06:002013-03-28T11:36:12.169-06:00This is from my son, Joe.
Hmm, I tried to comment ...This is from my son, Joe.<br />Hmm, I tried to comment on your blog but it wouldn't post my comment no matter how much I tried. Anyways, this was my comment!<br /><br />"When it comes to buying a new nook, I wouldn't worry about B&Ns future. Even if BN goes out of business you will still be able to use the device just as before. In fact, you would be more capable of getting new books than if you buy a kindle because nook is capable of reading more ebook formats than the kindle, including the standard epub format, which is the international standard for ebooks. Amazon refuses to support epub because it wants to leverage its dominance in the ebook reader market in to an effective monopoly on ebook delivery, allowing it to manipulate writers and consumers in to accepting non-market prices for content. So I would avoid the kindle on principle. Also, there are other options besides the nook and kindle that I expect to gain more prominence.
