nook

I purchased my very own nook over the weekend! Oh I was very excited! The nook is an ebook reader..which means that you can download books onto this small device and read books wherever you are. There are over one million titles and you can sample any ebook for Free. Most ebooks are $9.99 or less. You can lend ebooks with friends for Free. The nook is also capable of audio books as well. There are speakers on the bottom to listen and also a headphones plug-in. The Nook also has the internet (at Wi-Fi hotspots), is capable of downloading newspapers, and magazines. You can also download pdf documents onto it.

The top reasons I have really wanted one of these is, first and foremost, I can download my textbooks for school onto them :) Are you thinking what I'm thinking?......no more huge, heavy, awkward textbooks to carry around campus! And another reason is because I have really learned to love reading and this device gives me a chance to read most anything wherever and whenever I choose to read.

There are many ebooks out there that are free and I have downloaded a few that seemed interesting. The Nook is made by Barnes and Noble. Today I went into Barnes and Noble and was able to read a book for Free! They give you an hour a day to read any book for free through your nook. So I took an hour to relax, sip some pumpkin spice latte, and read the first 70 pages of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. By visiting the store and taking in some reading time whenever I'm in Orem, I can read this book for free. Also, on Fridays Barnes and Nobles has a list of books that you are able to download for free. It is usually a top seller, too! I'm excited for Friday to go in and see what ebook they have :)

So far I have only downloaded free stuff, but eventually I know there will be a book I will purchase because I can't wait to read it.

Thanks so much to Dick and Lincoln for buying my nook for me! It will get lots of use, I'm sure of it :)
