Some more random nook thoughts

I've begun working on my full review, but in the meantime I thought I'd share a few more thoughts about the nook.

The biggest issue I've encountered so far is the device locking up. It has happened to me twice now in four days. This time it happened away from home, so I couldn't plug it in to my computer. In frustration I started hitting random buttons. Doing this I discovered how to reboot the nook. Simultaneously press the page back button on the left side of the device while pushing the page forward button on the right side.

I took my nook to Barnes & Noble today to try out the in store features. Happily, I was able to get my free cookie. Sadly, I was not able to browse full books in store as promised. I think, however, that they may not have promised that feature until next year so I'll hold off dinging them on that.

I had one other hiccup yesterday. I tried purchasing the Chicago Tribune for my morning paper. But I've been unable to download it, I keep getting an error. I e-mailed B&N customer service asking for a refund, since it was yesterdays paper I don't want it anymore. I'll keep you posted on how that works out.

Stay tuned for the full review in a few days.
