I love my NC but the wife wants to wrap it for Christmas. Got a few more days since she's out of town. If you look at my devices you'll see I'm somewhat of a gadget person (and add a Sony PRS300 {sold} & Cybook {given to daughter}). I had thought that the Astek EZ Reader with Openink Pot firmware had met all my goals but you people are so enthusiastic that I stopped at B&N to check. Went back the next weekend to purchase.
Yes there are some things that are less than perfect - weight, can't read outside, keyboard multi-types - but I still like all the good parts - browser, color, backlit, can be rooted for more apps that I use on my Droid.
My main "rationale" was that I could have it for Christmas to be a 'standin' for the Notion Ink Adam Android tablet that won't ship until February. Now if I could just read my email from it after it's rooted, it would be nearly perfect.
BTW, even though I am a big supporter of Eink, I have no problems reading the NC & as another 'older' person suggested, I don't need a spot light with it. So now I have an outside reader & an inside reader.
I'm rooting for a rooted NC after Christmas.
MC to you NCers.
