Being a bit over 50 years old, my eyesight is not what it was 20 years ago and the back lit screen is wonderful for me. I can sit anywhere and read without a glaring clip-on light or extra room light. I love it to read in bed or while husband is driving our RV. I had bought an inexpensive Augen from K mart a couple of months back with a backlit screen and loved it. Unfortunately it died a very young death and when I returned it to K-Mart they said they would not be stocking any more and if I purchased their last one, they would not exchange it again if it broke so I started checking out Android tablets and the Nook, clearly without spending over $500.00 for a Samsung tablet is the highest quality of a back-lit reader, browser etc. No need to say bad things of the lower priced ones, but we do get what we pay for. This thing is a wonderful internet tool, which I don't need, but it does work super well and when the hacks for the roots are well tried and clear directions posted, I will root mine. There are two aps that are on my I-phone, that I would like to find for my NC. One is playing audio books (mp3s) at a faster speed and the other is the ability to play avi video files. I rarely use wifi as the battery lasts much longer with it off the NC sideloads easily and effortlessly. No freezes, window error messages etc.
I find it much easier on my eyes than using my Kindle3 at night with clip on light and the resolution is plenty high for me. I would recommend it to anyone wanting an e-reader of any kind. I was not a Nook fan at all, preferred the Kindle, but this tablet is incredible. I hope anyone who wants one, finds it under their Christmas tree this year. I know it's a little pricey, but the quality and versatility make it well worth it.
Well said. I loved my Kindle 3 but the Nook Color smokes it easily.
