Melanie,

Though Kindle does have a few ebooks Nook does not have, I think you should first try \
other sources for Nook ebooks such as:

    * Smashwords http://www.smashwords.com/
    * Fictionwise http://www.fictionwise.com/
    * eReader.com http://www.ereader.com/
    * ebookMall http://www.ebookmall.com/nook/

A list of free ebook sources is at

Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably will \
themselves not be realized. ~ Daniel Burnbam, Architect for Plan of Chicago, 1909

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be \
compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well. ~ \
Ralph Waldo Emerson
