Nook STC - any better w/ magazines and such?
I tried out the old (B&W) Nook in conjunction w/ Calibre a couple of months ago. I was impressed with Calibre, but horrified at the slow and cumbersome UI on the Nook for reading newspapers and magazines. It took forever to navigate to a particular article and the layout / organization was nowhere near as nice as in the Kindle I later purchased.
But now there's the Nook STC, and against my better judgment I'm wondering how it stacks up against the Kindle . Is the new Nook appreciably better than the old one in reading/navigating newspapers? Is it even better than the Kindle? (which I love overall, but I hate hate hate losing my place every time I click Back from an article) Thanks in advance for your insights! Regards, Adam P.S. -- And there's no way to wirelessly send articles to the Nook STC like we can w/ Amazon Whispernet, right? |

You should probably post this in another forum. This seems to have nothing to do with Calibre, except the fact that you're impressed by it, which is good

I was originally posting here because I felt that the vast majority of readers in other forum areas are using their e-readers for books, vs. enjoying the cool Calibre conversion of online news sites' feeds to Mobipocket-formatted text.
But you nonetheless have a good point, and I've reposted here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho....php?p=1615866 Thanks for the forwarding |
