Crossed the nook off my list

ziegl027 · 12-13-2009, 08:22 PM

So far I've only ever seen the Sony 300 and 600 (well the 505, too, before Target changed their displays). The 600 seems basically satisfactory. Got a chance to try a nook yesterday. I was very disappointed. It felt very top-heavy to me and the response time was agonizing. Particularly for trying to do any highlight/annotation. I was willing to play wait-and-see to see if they were going to come up with PDF notes, but not anymore. I guess they might be able to speed it up in the future, but I'm a bit dubious they will be able to make it lighter.

You know, Zieg, I've yet to read anything about the nook that would tempt me to buy one. N

Yeah - hate to say it but from what I have read so far, the Nook is not an option for me. It looks great and at the end of the day I hope they can work all the issues out so people that have purchased one can really get to enjoy the device. Was looking to get a 2nd device - but I want to wait until all the kinks have been worked out on the Nook.
