They didn't seem to have a lot of Agatha Christie. Nothing I'd heard of.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

Side load?

Hey. New board.
Side load means to put it on your nook using the cord that connects to your computer, rather than loading it through a store or something on the nook itself. I'm not sure exactly the process with a nook color, but I think B&N actually supports it, so it might be in your manual. Maybe Google "put ePubs on Nook Color from other sources" or something.
I don't know your technical abilities or desire to fiddle, but the Nook Color is apparently not too hard to jailbreak, and works beautifully once you do so. If you went that route, you could install the Kindle app, if you prefer books from Amazon for some reason. Or basically any other eBook app you would want, for that matter.

Ah. Thanks, Gris. I'll try it when I'm not so flu-stupid.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
If you ever have Christie questions, let me know. I've read most of them.

Sorry about that-I didn't know what side load meant at first either. (also stupid tonight). Should have said.

Agatha Christie is out of copyright? Cool!
But I should hold off until I get a Kindle with more room on it...

Nook Colors has sim chips (or "mem-thingies" as I call them) that can store more data. I LURVE mine, esp. with the new update.
ETA: Huh. Gonna have to get me one soon. I'm at 77% full.

Also most of Andre Norton, G.K. Chesterton, P.G. Wodehouse, Lovecraft, Murray Leinster, Doc Smith, H. Beam Piper, a lot of Harry Harrison (but not A Transatlantic Tunnel, Hurrah,) and Lovecraft.

So, the oddest thing is happening with my new internet. It just goes out, usually later in the evening. Oddly, b.org is usually accessible. I loathe interacting with Comcast, but I suppose I have to call them.
