typing on my nook

seldneiDid I mention I got a Nook tablet for Christmas?
I mostly wanted it for work: I've been working on being as paper-free as possible in class, but pulling lecture notes up on the computer when I have to use the same computer for a PowerPoint was problematic. It works pretty well for that.
I've also been internet-ing on it, which is better than surfing on my phone for the most part, but not as good as surfing on my laptop.
As far as using it for books, I've bought a few for it and have only read one, but that's because I had a massive stack of library books to read after Christmas. Still, it feels weird to read an e-book. Like I'm not reading a real book. This wasn't helped by the fact that my first e-book had this weird copy-error: every time there was an ellipsis in the text, the letter right before it was dropped and replaced with a period (He fel .... odd, as an example). Still, I like it and am pretty sure I'll get used to it.
My only frustration at the moment is that my local library has none of the books on my to-read list in ebook format. I'm sure this will change as new books come out, but right now it's annoying.
