Don't forget salt. If I remember correctly, it was often kept in a locked salt box.

Yes, there are universal ones. I have a Belkin keyboard & case for my nook. Look online. I've seen some on Amazon that are a lot cheaper than what you'll find in the big box stores and look a lot nicer too.

I can't help so much with the reset, but I have a few words of caution. My glorified E-Reader (aka Nook HD+) crashed and I had no other option than to do a factory reset. I hadn't been uploading my work to dropbox so I lost 25 pages. (The silver lining in that is that I've nearly finished...
