Ebooks

I got son an ereader for Christmas.  Prior to that I got him a GC from Barnes and Noble (at that point I had no idea he wanted an ereader).  Can he use the B&N GC for the new ereader which is not Nook or Kindle or whatever their brand of ereader is?

Re: Ebooks

  • It's my understanding that it depends on the kind of e-reader AND the book itself.  Some books are published only under the e-format that B & N uses, and others only use the other, and some have both.   Most public libraries support  the same thing that Nook has.  (I have a NookColor, DH has an old-school kindle)

    However, I have used amazon GCs for my Nook, and I just bought my son in law a gift card (B & N) for his nook, so I know those are compatible. 

    If you go the B & N nook site, you can view what format the book comes in, whether it's compatible or not, and work from there.

  • Crap!  I just wrapped it!  Thanks for the info :)
