Um, Yes he does. Just goes to show, you don't have to sing all that great or play guitar to make major bucks from the parents of little kids, imo.
Please don't take your organs to heaven, heaven knows we need them here.
GO DUKE!!!!!

Seriously, that looks pretty cool! Do you have to buy a special service to download e-books to it?

You do not. Most books cost $ (a current best seller is $9-$10) You can download via wifi (comes with AT&T 3G free), connect usb to a computer or at any barnes and noble. One of the reasons I selected the Nook over the Kindle is its ability to read multiple formats...not the proprietary Amazon format like kindle. Kindle has bnetter web browsing - but since I'm usually within 10 feet of a computer AND my crackberry can surf...I didn't think that was a deal breaker. Nook does use the Android operating system, so Andreoid apps can apparenlty load on it although right now it requires some hacking....I don't think that will las long!

Nook also has a 'lend' feature so if I bought book 'X' I could loan in to you for two weeks - so you could read it free. There are thousands of titles downloadable for nothing. Older certainly but there a several classics I've never read.

When mine arrives I'll give y'all a full review!!
All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.
