Mom-ninja. Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 Why do you find them? I've been looking around the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaT Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 If you go to barnesandnoble.com and let your cursor rest over the nook book section on the left side, you will get a selection of choices. One of them is free nook books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photo Ninja Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 There is a great blog that lists free books for the Nook, and sometimes sale priced books. I have found more free books I like this way than just searching the thousands at B&N. http://nookdeals.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom-ninja. Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Thanks everyone. I made a list of ebooks my library system has last night. I'm so excited to get my Nook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simka2 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) When you are at the search feature of Nook Books. Type in your subject plus 0.00. This allows you to avoid the porn! So last night I was looking for some books on King Arthur to supplement our medieval studies. I typed in King Arthur 0.00. It will bring up the free and really cheap books. ;) Edited: It is not porn like magazines, more just erotic novels. The books themeselves do not bother me, it is just tedious wading thru them all!

Thanks for the tip. Now, I know what my mom was talking about. Last month I asked to borrow her Sony eReader to take on vacation with me. She told me no. I was a bit surprised. Then she told me she has books on there that she doesn't want me to see. I joked saying,"What do you have p*rn books?" and she looked me right in the eye and said yes. Not that I would have read her books on there anyway, but I guess she didn't trust me not to look.

Too funny!!!! :lol: Do you know if the new Nook can run apps? or is it only the color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photo Ninja Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Too funny!!!! :lol: Do you know if the new Nook can run apps? or is it only the color? Only the Nook Color can run apps. But the new Nook is really nice and a great price. My dd just got one and loves it. She wanted to be able to take books to college with her, but there is not space for lots of books in the dorm room and they are heavy. With her new Nook she can take as many books as she wants without using up space. If I didn't already have a Nook Color I would buy the new Nook Touch. I like the size, and it is really light to hold and carry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 These sites are great. I'm anxiously waiting for tomorrow as it will be my first free Friday for my Nook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photo Ninja Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 How do you find the Free Friday book? On my NC, I go to the home page of Shop and the Free Friday book is one of the pages at the top and is clearly titled Free Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annlaura Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 There is also a b&n nook blog called unbound. It lists the free friday, as well as other specially priced offerings, reviews, author interviews, and a newer series of essays on the read forever campaign. Once in a while I just chance upon freebies. One week there was a list b&n classics for free. Yesterday I clicked on the enhanced books out of curiousity, and two of those are free right now. And there is a kids read to me title, Dixie, for free right now. I guess my point is that random shop browsing when bored sometimes yields a treasure. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
