It would just get bigger and more expensive and it woould indeed be a tablet and not a ereader |
And, since when is being poor an insult? I think 'poor man's ipad' does give a good picture of what the Nook Color can do as a tablet and I like the Nook Color and think it's the best value in a tablet right now -- yes, exactly: poor man's ipad. Sounds like a good, solid, non-bashing description to me.
And, anyway, it's fine to bash objects here (just not people).
The last few years I've been finding that it is the harsh, detailed, criticisms of a product that give me the most honest information I need about whether to buy a product - all products have limitations, I want to know what they are so I can decide if they bother me. "I love it" reviews tell me absolutely nothing.
It doesn't bother me the slightest if a limitation I think is minor is thought by someone else to be a major problem worthy of derision and colorful complaint. And that in no way (no way at all!) indicates a problem with the person, psychologically or otherwise, it just means they have different, but equally valid, preferences and needs than mine.
So bring on the criticism of objects -- they usually help me find products I'll love.
