Maybe we can all just agree to disagree. What is important to me in a reader probably would be unimportant to Joe Blow down the street.
I can see how the lcd screen is reflective, but honestly it doesn't bother me in the least. I get migraines and headaches so usually something like this would drive me nuts. I think the reason it doesn't is because when I get submerged in a book, I don't look at the sides or bottom of the reader, I look directly at the page I'm reading. I am sure if I looked down I could see my own reflection, but I only look down when I go to use the touch screen.
Personally I love the swipe turn page option. I can do it with one hand using my thumb, and it feels much more natural to me. Although I can say that it took me a while to get it down pat where I understood how to swipe so I had page turns each time.
I love my Nook. I believe it is the best reader out there for
me. That being said, I think there are many other great devices out there. I was going to get a Kindle 3. I had it in my cart the night it was announced. I am sure I would probably love it as well if I had it. It just happened that I went to the US that weekend and decided to try out a Nook, thinking I would return it if I didn't like it. I honestly didn't think I would like the lcd screen, but I ended up loving it. To each their own, that is what makes the world go around.
