Get London Reading: Nook Simple Touch e-reader now £29

[gtg93]

I'll keep my fingers crossed for mine then soon!

 

Anyone have any idea how, ah, 'tweakable' these are? (XDA is blocked at work sad times)

I'm not particularly interested in the e-reader bit.. But if it could be converted into a cheap low-spec tablet..

Any one managed to get these working with a proxy server?

Sainsburys still had nooks on display for £30. Stock might be another issue, mind.

 

I've started reading again since I bought mine.

I've been downloading more books than I've been reading since I got mine!

 

A couple of useful (free download) links:

 

Project Gutenberg: Free ebooks - Project Gutenberg (The biggest and best)

Arthur's Bookshelf: Arthur's Bookshelf (Laid out nicely, even though some links don't work)

 

I've also installed Calibre on my PC at home, which can convert between ebook types!

I can confirm that Calibre will work on Linux & W7 and synch between them using dropbox.
