  Hello, I have a new bog myskinnylittlenooktablet here that I have started. I started it because I use my Nook so much for not reading but for the apps and I am losing weight with the apps. I am not getting paid at all for Nook, I am just doing a blog because I like the fact I can blog on the go with my Nook app of WordPress. Is this ok to do and I will sometimes post a blog of some curvey girl designs I have made on cafe press, is it ok to add that link on my blog? I want to show that you can keep a weight loss journal on the go with something like a Nook Tablet as well as I am using your Blog App on there. Thanks.

  I looked at your blog and in my opinion (note: I’m just a fellow blogger volunteering here) your use of the Nook and your articles about using it seem okay.

  But for an official opinion, I’ll modlook this for a TOS staff person to take a look.

  Thanks, I am not a sales rep lol for them. I started this blog because well I take my Nook everywhere and love that fact that I can use it not just for reading but keeping me organized and I love that Word Press has an app for it for me to use on the go.

  Hi Caroline,
  Yes I understand what you mean, but as a volunteer I cannot determine whether or not a blog is in compliance with the TOS. My opinion is merely an opinion: I don’t think you are violating any of the terms. But I modlooked this thread so you will have an official staff ruling.

  It looks just fine to me, nothing to worry about.
