  • "Beware of what books you order from B&N"

    Pros: Works well.
    Good battery life,
    Easy to use.

    Cons: Books you download from B&N may not be readable on the Nook Touch.

    Summary: Beware of what you order and download for the Nook Touch. Some of the downloaded books simply are not readable on the device. And cannot be reformatted (type, margins, etc.). My 8 year old granddaughter asked me to download a book with the title "Meet Me in Horrorwood" (no kidding). I did that and then found that she could not read it because the type was very tiny and could not be enlarged. Also, the text lines extended only about 60% across the screen and the excess margins could not be made smaller.

    Nook Support was no help at all. They said I could not "return" the book for credit, though I had not asked to do that. I did ask that they flag books which were not suitable for viewing on the Nook Touch, and they did not respond to that.

    So, in short, you can download from B&N books which you cannot view on the Nook Touch, and you're stuck with the cost even though you cannot use them. And that, I think, is inexcusable.
