Yes, I agree with everyone that the Classic Nook's browser is really poor. If you just want to read a website, I guess it is usable, but if you want to do anything else on it (like click a link or enter a search term) it can drive you NUTS!

The main trouble I had is to position the webpage. For example, in order to say click a link that is 1/2 way down a page, you need to get the page to scroll down in the BOTTOM touch-panel window the exact amount to position that link so you can see it and click it. In other words, just seeing it in the top panel is not enough. Since the bottom panel is much less tall, it is an exercise in frustration trying to get it to scroll the exact amount - you either wind up scrolling too far and bypass where you want yourself positioned, or not enough, or, worse yet, you accidentally click on a link somewhere while you are trying to scroll the panel. UGH!

I bought a Color Nook for web browsing. It works great, even unrooted. But note, I much prefer the e-ink Classic Nook for reading. So the 2 devices complement each other, IMHO.
