Joe's Random Ramblings

When Barnes & Noble announced their eBook reader, the Nook, a couple of weeks back, I decided to pre-order it. I was in the market for an eBook already, anyway, and I had decided to not buy Amazon's Kindle because of their remote killswitch debacle.
B&N originally said they'd ship by November 30, but it was delayed a bit. It finally shipped on Dec. 8. They added free overnight shipping, so I got it yesterday, on Dec. 9.
I have played with it a bit, and my first impressions are that it is a good device. I know that there are some not-so-good reviews out there, but I didn't have any problems.
Boot-up is a bit slow, but not too bad. And I have so far mostly put it in sleep mode, which means I get right back to the spot where I was before. It comes out of sleep mode quickly. It also hasn't crashed on me.
The menu navigation works well. And the nice thing over the competition is the Wifi support. I was able without problems to connect to my home Wifi network, using WPA.
