Magazines
I thought I would enjoy reading magazines with the Nook Color, but my first try with National Geographic has left me disappointed. It tells you it is best viewed in landscape mode, but in that mode, it wastes a good portion of the screen. Portrait mode is a little better, but still almost nothing is readable without going into Article View, which then brings up a zoomed in view of the article. This is OK, but again only uses a portion of the Color's screen. I would have muched preferred emagazines that were actually designed for the device instead of constantly requiring switching between Article View and regular view or zooming in and out. Also, the article view only has the main articles and not some of the sub-articles on each page.
Thankfully though, Barnes and Noble has their 14 day trial, so nothing lost.
