Continue to use Nook while charging?

Tue, 05/04/2010 - 2:16pm — yl1m3

When I plug my Nook into the USB port, or the wall charger the screen says "If you want to use your Nook and continue charging, please choose Eject or Unmount from the menu for the Nook drive."

When I choose Eject on my computer using the "Safely Remove hardware" icon in my tray, the screen on my Nook stays the same, even if I press the power button on it, and I can't use it unless I unplug it from the power supply, which may cause me to lose my books and/or settings. What am I doing wrong?

Sat, 04/10/2010 - 9:37am — Smartmom

With all of the e-readers coming out and users wanting more e-books some are turning to piracy. Here is the ethical question if you own the book in hard back is it illegal to download a pirated version of it in e-book form? I mean lets think about this what really is pirating? True pirating is downloading something you didn't pay for. So you didn't pay for the ebook did you pirate? Or did you meet your legal obligation by paying the publisher and the author when you purchased their work? Should it matter that you purchased it in a different format? Wel
