It is a shame as the screen is the best LCD I've seen in the 6+ inch range. I'm going to stick with the iPad and Sony PRS-350.

The only saving grace in this 5+ month experiment is that I only bought one B&N overpriced book. All the rest were bought from Sony and Amazon, stripped of DRM, converted if necessary, and enjoyed without allowing the jerks at B&N the satisfaction of recouping any of their underwriting for the NC!
it would be interesting to see what your take on it would be if it had a apple logo on the back.

just sayin
