Questions

I am interested in the Nook, but have some concerns that I hope you can address. I live and work in Saudi Arabia. Obviously A T & T is NOT here. A SP from B & N answered my email about whether I could download books via a usb instead of Wi Fi, and he said I could. Does the Nook HAVE to have a SIM card installed to work, and if so, does it have to be A T & T?

One of your pictures notes that the font is "Amasis Medium". Can you change the font used for display and not just the size? If so, can we see pictures of other font choices?
