Hurray!
So the Nook Color came in yesterday, and I was instantly enchanted and finding terrible apps to put on. It was great, we were going to be besties.
The I tried to put in my Carefully Curated Micro SD Card Full of really gay fanfic and things from Project Gutenberg Literature, only to discover that the SD card wouldn't seat itself in the frankly weird place they have you put it in the NC. (It's kind of by the little cut out thing on the edge. Don't ask me how long it took to figure it out. I actually had to go look at the manual. Me! Look at a manual!) It would push in and make the little noise like it was going to click too, but then it would push itself out again.
I spent I think an hour that I should have been working on the fic last night fruitlessly trying to get the micro-SD card to engage in the slot. I tried two different cards, then I Youtubed that shit, which I never do, and then when Amy got here I made her try too.
So today after work (kind of balls, oh god full moon cometh we are going to dieth horribly-eth) I went to B&N at Lloyd Center (now conveniently one stop away on the MAX! Christ this was a bad idea) and up to the dude at the Nook counter.
MEG: So I bought one of the refurbs you guys had on sale for Black Friday? and I got it yesterday?
DUDE: *encouraging noises*
MEG: And I can't get the SD card to stay seated. I kept trying and trying, and I Googled it and tried three different cards and I just couldn't. ._. My sister tried too. I don't know what's going on.
DUDE: Well, let's take a look.
DUDE takes a LOOK. MEG talks to OTHER GUY fiddling with Simple Touch -- by the way I much prefer the ST's library thing over the NC's so far -- while DUDE pushes SD card in and out of NOOK COLOR. Then DUDE turns on the FLASH LIGHT FUNCTION of his IPHONE to examine slot.
DUDE: Huh.
DUDE: You weren't going crazy at least.
MEG: Well thank God for that.
DUDE: No idea what's going on with this, it's not engaging the lock for some reason.
DUDE: You said you had your receipt?
MEG: Yup.
DUDE: Well, let me see it and we'll get you a new one.
MEG:
MEG:
MEG:
MEG:
MEG: o____O
DUDE goes to STOCK ROOM and gets a PREOWNED NOOK COLOR for MEG. This PRE-OWNED NOOK has ORIGINAL SHRINK WRAP SHIT on it and the POWER CORD THINGY still has ORIGINAL BLACK RUBBER BAND around the USB CORD WHATSIT. Also IT has the BUBBLE WRAP around IT.
CASHIER: Would you like the extended warranty?
MEG: Nah, if the SD card works I'm good also I'm probably going to mod it so a warranty would be useless to me
MEG: Er. On that note, no offense or anything, bro, but would you mind --
DUDE: Nah, it's cool, let's check it.
DUDE CHECKS to see if MICRO SD CARD will stay in THE SLOT of the REPLACEMENT NOOK. IT does!
tl;dr, this is why Meg buys B&N instead of Amazon. I was expecting them to send it back and ship me a new one. Instead -- PROBABLY BARELY BREATHED ON NOOK! IN MY HANDS! WITHIN TWENTY MINUTES! I love you, Lloyd Center B&N. I really do. I love you, too, New Nook Color! ... even if you did suggest I'd be interested in cowboy D/s het porn. Thanks anyway, but I'll pass.
