Just bought a refurbished Nook online from B&N for $99. I usually buy my laptops refurbished (by manufacturer) and have always had luck, hope the same is true with the Nook. I'm so excited, I already signed up for the Philadelphia Free Library while waiting the delivery of my Nook.
Some good books to read that I've enjoyed:
American Rose: A Nation Laid Bare: the Life & Times of Gypsy Rose Lee (bio and fascinating reading!)
Death by Black Hole (non-fiction)
Red Wolf by Liza Marklund (a Swedish author like Stieg...) mystery
I want my Nook now! lol
