I never use my laptop when I'm travelling because I know I'll exhaust the battery. I use it when I arrive. If anything, I used to use my iPhone (or other smart phone I happened to have at the time) and even then I had to use it sparingly. Now, I just take my K3 and I just don't have to think of using it sparingly or having to find charging outlets as it lasts weeks on a single charge. No fuss or hassle and no "monitoring and charging".

We all know that the claimed battery charge of manufacturers is almost always best case - the old Nook in no way lasts the claimed amount and in my case at best it's 50% of that. If the NC only lasts 5 to 6 hours, well, there are lot of people that will be p!ssed that they have to "charge, monitor and go" that often.

But I'm sure that there will be many people that don't mind charging every 6 hours and will be very happy reading on reflective LCD screen on a crippled Android tablet. Good for them. Personally I won't be one of them; if I did want a tablet, I'd get a fully functional one like an iPad or one of the many others that are coming to market that can be used with every reading app and many other things besides. It is nice to see that B&N managed to get the bezel colour sorted out this time though - but what is it with that silly corner thing...

I do not believe for one minute that you have never seen any outlets in any airport terminals or on Trains. I call BIG TIME BS ON THAT.

Taxi Cabs? Now you just reaching just to purposely be difficult. So I guess I 'll never take a taxi and my Droid with me or my laptop and only bring my World Peace saving all Great Kindle.



Wow dude, what is your deal with Barnes and Noble, did they like fire you or something?

Ohhh get the iPad but then contradict your rant about battery life.. Unbeleivable.

seriously your animosty towards Barnes and Noble is just bizzare
