Think about it. The cost of manufacture has become the first concern. The Kindle has a keyboard, which must cost much less.
B&N has to face facts: the touch screen adds nothing to the reading part of the experience and actually is confusing to a lot of readers.
It also adds a large drain on the battery.
Finally it is bright and shiny and glares in a dim room, which always annoyed me.
I know that there will be partisans who absolutely *love* the touch screen.
They should start the mourning process now.  |
I disagree, the color touchscreen has been one of the more attractions to the nook over .
How can you own a smartphone,(iPhone) but find the Nook confusing.
What part of the "Reading Now, Shopping, library, Wi Fi , Settings icons do you find to be such a head scratcher
Hmm when I want to shop I hit the Shop icon. When I went to pick out a book from Llibrary, I go to "My Library" if I want to pick up where I left off before I backed out of the book i hit "Reading Now'
I could never figure out what makes people all dumbfounded . The nook isn't exaclty rocket science here. If you can figure out a Droid, iPhone, Blackberry and even your own computer the Nook is childs play.
Your nook glares and in dim light? I don't understand . E ink doesn't glare.
and the bezel is white and just not that glossy unless you are overly senstive to it.
i really do think the LCD screen will be around until a touch screen color eink comes around.
The manual navigations are steps backwards in technology
The battery life as copared to what oter LCD products, smartphones, laptops etc seems like an eternity. I'm sorry if finding time to charge the nook after 5 days is unbearable then you other problems to worry about.
I have to charge my phone EVERY NIGHT. My laptop can't go over 2 hrs. Having to charge my Nook after 5days. Ahhh you know whatever, I guess people like to complain no matter what the issues are. so to each his own. To me plugging my Nook in while I get dinner ready and eat and watch some TV just isn't getting me to the point i want to leap of a building.
