Does the NooK connect to a PC so you can drag files to the Nook?
Can you e-mail yourself an epub file and open it on the Nook?

Barnes & Noble have reconditioned Nooks w/3g & wifi on line for $139. Good deal ?

Thanks
I have a nook 3g and love it. It's much easier on the eyes than a color reader if you plan on a long reading session. You can not use the 3g to access e-mail or the web. The 3g is only for downloading books when not near a hot spot. The kindle will let you access the web over 3g but then the kindle won't let you borrow e-books from the library. You can connect the nook to a computer to drag files.

If I had it to do again, I would buy the cheaper wifi only nook. When I bought my 3g version, I didn't have a home network. Since then, I set one up for my DirecTV and no longer use the 3g. You can buy a new wifi nook for about $150 and set up a home network for about $60.
