I disagree about being primarily suited for the very casual reader. Many NOOKcolor owners do not consider themselves "casual readers". There are also those who replaced their e-ink device with the NC. And there are some who own both but regularly reach for the NC. |
Thanks,

... but, she is what I call "casual reader". And I don't want to be rude or offend anyone with the word, but when I use that term I mean a person who read in very short sessions or mainly magazines. If I keep it, I keep it for her (would be a nice xmas gift, lol), but not all people have the resources to swap and buy 2 or 3 readers.
I did like the concept. I would re-consider if someone comes with an eink color device instead or next year after several firmware upgrades. I think (not sure) that the landscape mode is easy to fix via firmware, same for the picture zoom inside ePub documents.
