Nook and Gift Cards

[srjrmom]

Can you use gift cards to purchase books on the Nook?  I hope they can.  I get quite a few during the holidays and I'm hopeing to get Nook this year and would want to use them to get books for my Nook.

At this time, you cannot purchase ebooks for the nook with gift cards.  There's another thread about this on the boards.  I would guess that you can buy the actual nook unit with gift cards though.

Would it be possible to use a Visa or Mastercard giftcard to purchase ebooks?  Couldn't you just add them to your account like a credit card?

That would be nice to know. Then we can all just buy Visa or MC gift cards instead of BN to allow the recipients to buy ebooks. That's better than nothing!
