Wow!! What a lot of comparisons between the Nook and other Android Devices!!! Maybe there will be other Android devices out there in the future that can look and perform better than the Nook, and can do a trillion things...with a battery life of 2.5 hours. I would never want that. I get smaller devices for portability-not too portable if you have to plug the damned thing in every few hours. There has to be a balance between running tons of apps, surfing the web....as opposed to just reading offline books and mags. The Nook was never designed as an Android Tablet device for these good reasons. You can get any Android device, some are really cheap but look horrible, are sluggish and with horrible battery life. You can pay more and get devices like the Galaxy that can do everything. But then you need data plans more often than not and the battery life is still less than half of the Nook.. I simply do not want a device that can do so much , when all I want is to be able to read. I think the comparisons can get really fuzzy when we are not really comparing like with like.
