FWIW, I think the swipe feature is poorly implemented on the Nook. And I know, because I bought one and have used it. So this is a first hand, 100% opinion. Okay?
And yes, I think the designers made, to put it mildly, some inadvisable design decisions. The fact that a good proportion of Nook owners claim to like those design features doesn't negate my opinion. If people feel insulted because I do not like a product they use then I'd suggest that's their problem and they should probably try to get some perspective; it is, after all, just an eReader and a bad one at that. 
Oh, and I thought I'd quote this back to you as I thought it was a little ironic and made me chuckle just a little; |
For someone on a message board about reading, you don't read very well, do you.
1. I did not attack your opinion. I have posted before that your opinion is perfectly valid. However, I did attack your rudeness and combative posting. I am not insulted by your opinion, but by the way you express it. I even gave you examples. Calling the nook a bad ereader because you didn't like it is juvenile. I don't like BMW's, but I would sound ignorant if I went around calling them bad cars. There is no reason to be impolite on a recreational message board.
2. I find it ironic that you did exactly what I said that you would--you called me a fanboy. How am I a nook fanboy? I usually recommend the Kindle 3 to most buyers. I only recommend the nook to those with specific needs. I think the Kindle 3 is the best overall value/design. I recommend the Pocketbook 360 to those who want portability. I even recommend the Kobo to those that want a small reader without all the bells and whistles. But, I guess since you don't have a real defense against my points, it is easier to just call me a fanboy.
The only difference between genius and stupidity, is that genius is limited.
