[high_revs]

thought you can do wifi too (3g or just wifi)? if you have that version from what i thought. friends just read with it. they have other devices if they need something further (iphone, ipad, pc/laptop, etc.)

Read books.. That's it as far as i know....

It was designed for the most part to be a single-use tool. It does one thing and does it exceedingly well. I have yet to find a use for it other than reading. It certainly doesn't work for pounding nails or anything like that.

Read books mostly although you can buy magazine and newspaper subscriptions. So far I'm about 1/2 way through my first Kindle book and think it's okay. I prefer audiobooks but sometimes it's nice to read and listen to the stereo.

I have 112 books on my Nook; and am at less than 4% capacity. I haven't spent a dime on them either.

Some of the best literature the human species has ever produced is available for free:
