Nook Crashes internet?

Alright so my brother connects his Nook (Not sure what kind it is, i'm not well educated on Barnes & Noble Products) but it can connect to internet and whenever he gets on my average ping on a server goes from 40 to 500-600 and stays roughly at 550 permanently. Why does this happen? And how can i fix it? Its also important to note i have indeitified this as the cause because when i turn it off it goes back to normal.

Barnes and Noble job help? - 1

I applied to Barnes and Noble in my area that is hiring. This would be my very first job and my third interview. I'm worried that not having any previous experience would decrease my chances. I spoke to a manager today and she said they typically hire people with restaurant experience because of the cafe. I called around to a few other locations in my area and all the employees and managers said it didn't really matter if you're applying for a bookseller position. Does anyone know if that matters? Also, I didn't know at first that Barnes and Noble had a printable application and so I filled one out online a few weeks ago. I didn't hear anything back as they weren't hiring at the time. When I find out I could fill one out and drop it off in store, I decided that would make a better impression and am going to do so tomorrow. Does filling it out online decrease the chances of an interview vs. Dropping it off to a manager? I really want this job and I want to make sure I make a good first impression. Any constructive criticism is appreciated!

How to pay with barnes and noble gift cards that you no longer have?

So usually I pay for books on my nook, not at the actual store. I enter the card number into my nook and then throw away the gift cards. I now have over $100 worth of gift cards accumulated on my account.

so now i want to use those gift cards to buy something online, to be shipped to my house. I see on my account information that the gift cards are recognized, but i no longer have the numbers/codes to them.

how do i use these gift cards to buy the books online without using the credit card listed at all?

Do ePub files contain colour info too?

If I buy a magazine to download to my Nook I understand it will be in black and white on my Glowlight, but does the ePub file contain colour information? For example if I was to transfer it at a later to a Nook Tablet or other Colour e-reader or tablet would it then be in colour?

How the heck do you get a retail job without prior experience?

I'm basically trying to find a job while I think about what I really want to major in. The problem is that I've never had a job before because I was busy with college.
For example, I was applying to Barnes and Nobles (not managers or high level positions) and to my surprise, they require prior work experience in order to move forward in the application/requirement. It's the same with other retail jobs, I mean, in all sincerity to retail workers, how hard can the job be to learn?

Digital vs hard copies… Albums, books, movies?

So recently I had my laptop open, listening to my Spotify radio while I was reading on my Nook. It occurred to me that everything has become digital now and it gave me a really weird feeling. All the music I listen to is digital. I have no hard copies of my favorite albums on CDs or whatever. All my favorite books are digital on my Nook, I have no books with real pages… And movies? I just buy them for five bucks on Comcast On demand or watch a movie on my Netflix account. Now is this convenient? Of course it is. It's easy. Always accessible. But I really want all my favorite things in real life, where I can hold. Like DVDs and CDs and books. But will I be wasting my money? Will these things soon become a thing of the past? Is it worth investing in a DVD collection?
