Pardon me if this is a little off-topic, but does anyone know if the Nook drops back to Edge if 3G coverage is unavailable? If not, then the Nook drops off my wishlist, as AT&T has no 3G coverage where I live!

There's a U.S. Supreme Court precedent [hrhero.com] on "engaged to wait" vs. "waiting to be engaged". So which are you?

That makes sense. I should note that my video card has the lowest rating on the "Windows Experience Index" scale on my machine as well - 3.2 for Aero and 3.1 for Gaming graphics, while everything else rates significantly higher: Processor = 6.7 (two dual-core Xeons), RAM = 5.5, and Disk = 5.9.
