Default Am I the only one who's geniunely enthused about the NT?

home.comcast.net/~nirvgorilla/nt-mantano_books.png

So there's a screenshot I just took. I'm not satisfied 100% with it because it isn't perfect. Maybe I have OCD, but I don't like when books don't have covers.

I'm new to e-readers, and I've been trying to find answers for a week, but everyone in this community has an aversion to verbal communication. I don't think it's too much to ask for somebody who's as interested in the Nook as I am who also happens to have a microphone and Skype installed to discuss it.

So maybe someone out there who is like me who has high standards and wants book reading perfection on their device because I'd like to acquire that knowledge and pass it on in the form of a YouTube tutorial video.

I don't trust google because the majority of people say that zSNES is the best Super Nintendo emulator when actually bSNES is factually and scientifically the best Super Nintendo emulator. I'm sick of misinformation, so I need someone who has the best information and is willing to pass it on to me so I can educate the increasing number of people permanently moving over to ebooks.

I'm enthused that I'm going to have a 250$ android tablet. Not so much about the whole "nook" part.

Attention all: deck is a scrub.

I enjoy my nt for what it is, and while I'm looking forward to rooting it once the devs come up with a less techy way, I think exploiting access to the amazon app store has partially circumvented the need for rooting.
I own a nook color as well, and have enjoyed using these for books, mags, and pdfs for my school. I just discovered the built in dictionary that can be accessed by long pressing a word...didn't even know the NC did it.

You can find/change book covers with Calibre. You can also edit metadata (description, tags, title, author, etc) with it. To embed a new cover, resave the book into whatever format desired. For OCD types, the epub format is documented, and you can use various tools to edit any part of a book.

Google can't make decisions for you. It can't tell you what's "best." Only you can do that. With judicious search terms, it can help you narrow your search parameters.

For more detailed answers on ebooks, find good ebook forums. Yes, it starts with a Google search,

http://google.com/search?q=ebook+forum

You can tell a forum is "good" by its post count volume, and by the quality of responses.
