So after many weeks of back and forth, i finally slapped some $$$ down on a reader. Which did i get you ask? Of course i got the NC since everytime checked Amazons site it was always a 7-10 day wait. So i said ok, i got the NC. Big mistake, LCD is terrible for a ereader as i found out. With a green on black theme for reading at night i could actually see the LCD glow. PLus the fact that i don't care what anyone says staring at a LCD for long periods of time does wear your eyes out to a degree considering im in IT and do it all day. I can't go 15-20 minutes of reading the NC without my eyes getting strained. I can sit and read a paperback novel for hours on end. And of course i rooted my NC. Waste of time, as i realized. I want a reader not a poor mans Ipad. So it's time to order my K3...That's more story and i'm sticking to it!!!

Regards,
JoeW
