Hi again Scott,
Thank you for the reply. I've already put your advice to good use!
In other news, I now own 3 copies of Sonar X2 Power! The hard copy arrived this afternoon. Yay! Yesterday, I paid for and downloaded the ebook for Nook, thinking I would use it on my iPad and/or my big computer, (which is what I have always done with larger format Nook books) since I knew the format wouldn't be appropriate to read on my small black-and-white Nook Touch.
Unfortunately, it turns out that Canadians can't download the Nook iPad app (it says, "You are in Canada and the Nook app isn't available at the Canadian store; we'll transfer you to the U.S. store" then it transfers you and says, "You cannot purchase items from the U.S. store, you need to transfer to the Canadian store" and it transfers you again. Also, "the book isn't available to be viewed on PC yet", so I'm out of luck.
Barnes and Noble answered my enquiry today, stating that since the book did successfully download to my little Nook (true enough), no refund can be given. Well, it makes sense. It would have been good to know that Canadians are not permitted to download the Nook app so they can view newer Nook books on iPad, though.
Anyway, this afternoon, I bought Sonar X2 Power! on iBooks and it works great. So that makes 3 copies for me - one hard copy for home, one e-book, and one Oops D'Oh! I know it's got nothing to do with you personally but I just want to say: Good thing you write such good books, Scott, or I'd be upset! ;)
Seriously, I just want to let other Canadians know that the Nook version may not be the way they want to go, not because of the book by any means, but because of the restrictions.
Looking forward to reading,
Laura
