I agree with you that the NC stock reader is adequate and functional for "basic" reading, where we define "basic" as:
1. Not taking notes.
2. Not making bookmarks that you want to export later.
3. Not wanting to easily "reset" book data (last page read), etc.
4. Not reading in "night mode".
5. Not reading in landscape mode.
So, basically, pick up the NC, buy the latest Dresden novel or whatever, and read it to completion, and the NC stock app will probably treat you well. And that's great. 
But the thing is: under those circumstances, every reader I've ever tried (Nook, Nook Color, PocketBook 360, Aldiko, Moon+, Cool Reader, etc.) fulfills those criteria. And that's great, too, but it does undermine this meme that the NC stock reader is "wonderful". |
That's what's so frustrating. Why are they going against the norm? At this stage, it's as if they don't give a darn. It can't be ignorance.
