Nook questions
I recently bought a Nook.
I had some problems, so I sent emails to Barnes and Noble, but got no response. These are some of the problems I have had. 1. Keyboard does not respond. I oftentimes can not exit an application. I have to shut it down. 2. I bought a NIV study bible, but 2 weeks later, it was no longer in my library. ( $ 34 is no small sum. :-) ) 3. I sent Barnes and Noble an email about it, but they did not respond. 4. I bought a 32 Gb memory card, but was not able to save anything to it. Thanks for your time and consideration, Andy |

Andy,
That has not stopped others from posting. :-) Just because some people behave like they do not care where they dump their questions does not mean you should too :-( (something in that regard your mother surely has told you long ago) Folks here are really helpful. Yep. Like Nil, who tried to educate you that you should not do something like this. Like me, who did the same (on another, equally unrelated to the newsgroup, post). There is a *reason* we have lots of different news groups. If you wish to ignore the reason to that than nobody will be able to stop you, but the end result will probably be that you end up in several killfiles, meaning that even questions that really do belong in a certain newsgroup will not be seen & answered by those people anymore. Ever thought about that ? I have already tried your links, and no response. Maybe some public embarrasement might get some "oil on the wheel." Yeah, why don't you go kick the neighbours dog, maybe that act will get your neighbour to call the police, who will do an arrest that hits the papers which makes you famous which gives you a role in a movie where you are seen by someone from B&N who remembers your email to them and will contact you to solve the problem ? Far fetched ? So its trying to reach them by informing the readers here. By the way: did you notice that ALL CAPS italian ranting in several newsgroups about "SONO 2 *******I ASSASSINI" ? Wrong newsgroups (several), wrong language, yelling. In short, ignoring common curtesy. That person landed in my killfile too.

You're asking people talking about Windows to start a smear campaign against Barnes and Noble? I have no sympathy for anyone who pays good money for e-books. You're just supporting an exploitive business model and thus making things worse for the rest of us. You didn't "buy" a Bible. If you'd bought it you'd have it and you could back it up or read it on any device. What you apparently did was essentially to rent the book until such time as B & N takes it back, or your Nook breaks, or they go out of business and the server goes down. |

There are reviews for that bible study ebook, citing problems with getting it running. Information is available to tell you not to buy it. If the ebook document was actually bought from B & N, you're supposed to be able to connect to the Internet, and "sync" to your library. Which would put the broken book back. Paul |

That was obviously before you revealed that you intend to make a habit of abusing the group by posting any old **** here, no matter how off- topic. What do you plan to post about next? Your squealing car brakes? The rash on your elbow? What kind of wine to serve with poached quail? I have already tried your links, and no response. I might ask why you didn't mention that initially, but then you didn't mention what model Nook it was or any other pertinent information, either. As I check back into my archives of this group, I'm reminded that this is your m.o. Maybe some public embarrasement might get some "oil on the wheel." I strongly doubt that anybody from Barnes & Noble reads this newsgroup or that they would respond if they did. By the way, I took a minute and looked at the User Community forum, and I saw no sign of any message about your problem. Are you sure you posted there? |
