Would you know the NST has any limitations regarding micro SD?
what i mean i have one 32GB Class 10 from adata but it is not recognized by NST
how can i contact the BN support?
Another limitation of Nooks is that BN wont accept international credit cards.
so in that case cannot buy books and even cannot download free books
