Welcome to my world.
I can't stand nothing dull
I got the high gloss luster
I'll massacre your ass as fast
as Bull offed Custer

Don't worry...you get used to it eventually. My moment was in a toy store with my kids a few years ago when they were trying to relaunch He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. My son looked at another kid who look back and asked each other if they ever heard of He-Man before.

When one of your default radio stations that plays "80s, 90s, and now" is calling itself an "oldies" station, your definetely one of us.

But I assume you can only buy books from Barnes and Noble ?Mark wrote:I've got the base line Barnes and Noble Nook......and I love it. I can carry all my books with me, and book shopping got really easy. No more going to the bookstore 8)
Like, can you buy Kindle books too ?
Somehow I'm guessing its locked to their own brand.
That might be a dumb question but I really couldn't tell from the info on the Nook page of the B&N website.

You feel old? Tell me, where were you when the Wall came down?

Re: Ebook readers?
Yeah, it's locked to only B&N books, which is why I love my iPad, because it has all of the book stores on it as well as better screen real-estate. Now I have a question, is there any back-light on them, because the screen has the same brightness as a books page as far as I can tell, which would make them utterly useless to me.LaughingCheese wrote:But I assume you can only buy books from Barnes and Noble ?Mark wrote:I've got the base line Barnes and Noble Nook......and I love it.
