There are confusions on Nook’s wi-fi capability. Can you make it clear?
Nook is programmed to automatically connect to the free AT&T Wi-Fi in any Barnes & Noble store. When you’re in the store with nook, you’ll be able to read any eBook we stock, and we’ll be able to send you special content and promotions. You can also use nook on any 802.11b/g Wi-Fi access point. So, you can connect wirelessly at home, or whereever you have a preconfigured Wi-Fi connection. for a point of clarity, you can connect on any 802.11b/g Wi-Fi hotspot, or wherever you have the SSID password. The exception to thie is Wi-Fi hotspots that use proxy settings (like you typically see in a hotel), where you have to enter a password or some other information before you can connect. Regarding AT&T 3G coverage: You can connect for free anywhere on AT&T’s 3G network.
