Thanks for the scare, though
Not to perpetuate the scare but Barnes & Noble is on shaky ground. The future of the company was one of many reasons I eliminated the Nook early on. A couple of other big show stoppers for me were only a 14 day return policy with a 10% restocking fee. Sony and Amazon is a 30 day full refund. B&N e-books are generally more expensive and B&N will not allow the use of their own gift cards to purchase their own e-books. WTF is up with that?!?!?!!?

I truly hope your girlfriend likes her Nook. It just didn't cut it for me.
