http://www.barnesandnoble.com/nook/protectionplan/standard/index.asp" target="_blank" class="bb-url">This</a> is the standard warranty that comes with the Nook and lasts for a year. Doesn't cover much, and doesn't cover theft, etc. Which I don't like ): People enjoy running off with my technology. I've gotten two iPods stolen right out of my purse [someone literally kicked my purse out from in between my feet when I wasn't paying any attention, and stole my iPod, then proceeded to hide my purse.<br><br>The two-year protection plan is a little more forgiving, but doesn't cover stains, or rust, or anything that could happen to the Nook. It does cover accidental handling, protection against spills, drops, etc. Doesn't cover theft.<a href="
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/nook/protectionplan/index.asp?PID=30923" target="_blank" class="bb-url">This</a> is the protection plan. It is also non renewable. [Damn it, I want something I can go renew every two years!]<br><br><br>-><span style="font-weight:bold">BestBuy</span><br>Best Buy's warranty links are broken D; So if anyone could help me out there, it would be greatly appreciated.<br><br>*************<br><br>No, I don't have my Nook yet ;-; It makes me sad. But I have to save up for a few more weeks.<br><br>Anyhow, I'm reading the reviews for this, and the three main issues people have been having is the reaction time, which isn't very serious. They say it's slow, when you want to change pages in a book you are reading, etc. I tried the Nook out at the Best Buy in the mall by my house, and, after the alarm got turned off [-_-], I was able to see that it had a rather quick reaction time, it just takes a little longer to load. Besides, I tried out the Sony E-Reader at Borders, and at Wal-Mart, and it's the exact same issue. Only slower. And the touch screen on the touch Sony is -horrible- x.x<br>The big issue is that some people get defective technology, and I can understand being pissed at it, but it doesn't mean that all Nooks are going to be like that... It's like the reviews for the EnV2. Some people hated it, but my mom -adores- hers. Same with the EnVtouch.<br><br>Another issue is the battery life and slow start up. If you turn off your WiFi, and put it into Airplane mode [this is taken from someone who has had her Nook for over a month now], your battery life will be a lot longer. Slow start up time can be explained by the fact that it's a computer. Does your Mac/PC *automatically* give you the sign-on screen? No. And when you sign in, are you able to immedietly get onto the Internet, or Chat, or AIM or whatever? It's like the graphing calculators at school. Sometimes they reset themselves, and it takes like 3 minutes for them to restart x.x<br><br>It's just a computer xD Like the Sony and the Kindle. And, it doesn't have the kinks worked out yet.. But software/firmware updates make it go faster and work out problems and all.<br><br>Anyhow.
