[QUOTE="Quietone, post: 1626953, member: 299083"] This is very interesting because I was able to de-register my nook when it began behaving strangely and the tech person helping me suggested I do that, which worked out well. At that time I didn't have my iPad yet. I love the nook for its lightweight feature, and it's easy to use. The iPad is really awesome, with all it's capabilities, though heavier than the nook, but the nook is made of plastic. I thought I read somewhere that Apple plans on making an all-glass product, maybe it was the iPad, but I don't remember exactly. It's amazing that glass can be made so thin and light. The problem with that is, it's still fragile and I've seen a few accounts of screen breakage, but accidents happen, even with the most careful handling. I had a mishap with mine, but thankfully it wasn't damaged. For now I'll stick with my iPad till the coverage on it expires, then see what's available and decide what I want. I'll hang onto my Nook till it doesn't work anymore, too. The main problem with the e-readers and tablets, as with so many electronics, is their proprietary nature. How much trouble do people have, for example, buying a book that may be a different format from a company that's different from the one the e-reader or tablet was made by? I remember reading something about Kindle and ePub, maybe it was not supported. I'm glad to see the different responses and experiences, it's all very interesting and helpful. :) [/QUOTE]
