I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas with lots of memorable laughs! :)
I think Fardale is my favorite character...I've always been partial to him. I love tolchuck too!
Kathleen wrote: "I would love to do the 100 books..."I just added a folder. In it you can choose between the 50 books challenge or the 100 books challenge. :)
For people who would like to challenge themselves!
Title your thread (name) 100 Books or (name) 50 Books, depending on how many books you want to finish in one year! Add the books as you finish them. When you have completed the challenge change the name to completed! :)
Have fun!!!!
I am going to wait and begin my list on Jan 1st. :)

I love that series!
I am reading Ecstasy A Novel by Nicole Jordan
and re-reading
Wit'ch Fire by James Clemens.
I'm also reading two psych books for school. :)

You can browse the Barnes and Noble store, but I haven't found a feature on the Nook that allows you to browse the internet. Although, I wouldn't be likely to browse the internet with it anyhow... It's a food feature for some though. I know my Aunt finds it to be useful.

You can put all your old ebooks onto the Nook VERY easily. I did that today. You hook the Nook up to your pc via a USB cable, and then you just click and drag your old ebooks into one of the folders on the Nook. It takes a few secs and that is it. :)
You can read all file types on the Nook too! No converting at all. :)

Rose wrote: "Yay! I'm excited. The only problem is they are sold out and I have to wait for January 15 to get mine....sad but I still can't wait."Yeah, I got lucky. My Dad pre-ordered mine in October otherwise I would have had to wait too. Let me know when yours arrives. :)
I went out to breakfast with my Dad for my bday, and he brought me my Nook. I've only been playing around with it for about an hour, but I am already in LOVE!!!! However, I have never used a kindle so I can't say which is better. Later this month I am getting together with my Aunt and she has the Kindle 2. We're going to compare, so I should be able to give you a better opinion of whether the Kindle or Nook is better. I will say this though...usually touch screens annoy me, but with the Nook it isn't annoying me at all. :)
That's true that Barnes and Noble has free ebooks. Plus you can get free ebooks on many other sites and use those ebooks with the nook! My library offers free ebooks on their site, so I will be taking advantage of that. :) Plus most of the ebooks from Barnes and Noble that you buy are a reasonable price. They have some for .99 cents and some for $2.99. Most of their recently released books are $9.99, but the rest of their books are mostly under $7. :)
The Nook has a lot of features that the Kindle does not offer, and it is the same price...That was a big part of the reason why I wanted it. I can't wait to pick it up from my Dad's! I have a feeling it is going to be my new favorite gadget. hehehe Best gift EVER! :)
My Dad bought me the Nook for my bday! I haven't picked it up from his house yet, but I'll let everyone know what I think soon! :)
When people add books to the bookshelf, GR automatically checks "read". So unless the person unchecks read, the book will come up as read in the bookshelf...
