I believe it.
Just looking at them side by side in a store or whatever doesn't really cut it; you need to spend some time reading on them.


so "on paper" cuts it but real life experience doesn't?

how long do you have to stare at the Kindle 3 before it becomes the most amazing piece of technology known to man?

It's screen is either head and shoulders above the nook or it isn't, and trust me it isnt'.

I apologize for sounding a bit snarky but it just that we keep hearing at how great the Pearl Screen is and that the nook uses old tech. it just boggles my mind. For one, improving contrast ratio is not the latest and greatest technology and two after v1.5 on the nook the difference is minimal at best.. Now don't get me wrong the Pearl Screen is a nice improvment but the nooks screen is on par with it. No doubt.

You don't need anymore than just a few minutes to see.
