Nooking is now a verb that means "reading on a Nook".... Go figure. Who knew?


Danny Bloom (1949- 2032) also brought to my attention that “Kindle” is now a verb. It may
be a while before “Nook” achieves verb status, however. -- Richard Curtis, blog

NOTE: Spoke too soon re Nook not becoming a verb yet.. In fact, it is now!
.....The editors at Urbanditionary, who also accepted kindling as a verb for reading on a Kindle a few months ago, have now accepted “nooking” as a verb, to wit:
