My little sis has been a voracious reader since the age of three so when she turned 14 the other day I gave her the Nook as a birthday present along with a list of nook book downloads she might want to try.
She has actually been pestering me with hints and side comments about the Nook for a few months now so she was so thrilled when I finally gave in and bought her one.
Since I had limited knowledge on how to use it to the fullest even though I own one, I advised her to read the manual first before proceeding. However, with typical teen wisdom she told me she didn’t need the manual when she had the internet to help her; so I sat and watched her search for tips on how to maximize the functions on her new eReader.
When downloading ebooks for example, the purchase of the ebook itself is required, although there are a lot of sites who offer free nook book downloads as well.
So anyway, my sis typed in the name of a book she has wanted to read for a long time and decided to purchase it. She tapped the menu button, tapped it again to confirm the purchase, and before we knew the ebook was already added to the Nook’s library.
She was simply amazed by how easy it was. Moreover, with the Nook’s web capability, my sis was able to find other nook book downloads with no effort at all, sending them straight to her collection.
Nooks also have a 2GB memory capacity to store your nook book downloads and some Mp3 files if you wish. When this runs out, you can simply purchase an extra memory card of up to 16GB so you can enjoy your reading experience better, so you can imagine the ebooks and music files you can avail of at a lot of download sites that offer them free.
Though the gift is not considered cheap, I realize now that it was worth the price seeing my sis get all excited about it. It’s not everyday that your sis turns 14, and what better way than to give her a present that will be both fun and educational at the same time.
I can almost see all the nook book downloads she’ll have by the end of the month, and it will be no wonder if she asks me for that 16GB memory card next.
