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.

Actually, I didn't say the Nook was a bad reader because I didn't like it, I said it was a bad eReader because of bad design. For instance, it's truly an idiotic design decision to make an eInk device reflective and glossy in any shape or form as one of eInk's main advantages over devices like the iPad is that it should be usable in bright conditions. Someone in marketing must have thought that because the original white iPod was so successful they'd pull the same trick, probably going against advice from engineers - big fail there I think.
As for you taking offence at my tone, all I can say is that's your problem. I talk like this and if you want to read personal insults into it, tough.

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.

I called you a fanboy as you seemed to have an issue with my critique for no other reason than my tone was "offensive". Well, again, tough. Grow a thicker skin.
As for the genius vs stupidity. lol You really have no idea.
