Sold it, back with K3
Just to thank everyone for all of their advice when I was deciding whether to buy a Nook Color and whether to jailbreak it.
Well I bought one, jailbroke it, returned it to stock OS and then sold it.
It just was not for me. The screen was fantastic. But, I just could not get used to reading from it instead of the black and white screen of my Kindle 3. Reading text in color was just not working for me. Whilst the glare is better than most LCD screens, obviously far more than with an e-ink device. It's that old chestnut again - some like the eink and some prefer the color of an LCD screen. I fell into the former.
What I do miss is the easier navigation of a touchscreen, particularly when reading books with many hyperlinked footnotes. The K3 certainly isn't good for that.
When I jailbroke it I found that many of my apps that I use on my iPod Touch were just not of the same quality or functionality on the Android platform. They'll probably come along, but it may take a long time, e.g. OliveTree, Laridian, Logos.
Anyway, I decided to get a good price for it while I could and wait until.... not sure what... NookColor 2, a 5 or 7 inch iPad.... hell to freeze over.
Anyway, just wanted to update and say thanks.
Hal.
