I have the NC in my hands (Finally, even though it is not mine, *sob*). The screen is OMG gorgeous. I tried out the Galaxy Tab in Best Buy and in my opinion, the NC is even better. The design is sleek, elegant and certainly a head turner. 7” is really a good form factor for reading and portability. Even though it weighs nearly 1 pound, holding it in one hand doesn’t seem to be a problem. Overall, UI seems to be very smooth. Response is quick; touch screen is spot on, pinch and zoom is a little finicky. I love how vibrant the magazine looks; the article view is a great plus. There is some glare and is a fingerprint magnet. Reading on black and white is as pleasant as my old nook. I don’t have a chance to try out WiFi or the web browser.
This is my co-worker’s nook that she picked up from the store; mine is somewhere in transit or it is lost by USPS. My friend is an avid reader and an early adopter of the Classic Nook. I’ve never seen her without her Classic Nook but today she has left it behind, giving way to the new favorite, the Nook Color.
