I hope you post about your progress using your Nook, including good sites for free or very low cost books. I've had a Kindle for about 6 months now and only use it as an always-in-my-purse backup book. In part because of that, I've only downloaded a few free classics from Amazon. I can't imagine paying anything for something that I can only access on the Kindle, but I'm willing to be swayed to experiment after reading about your experiences.
