A couple comments based on that video:
1. In a book, there seems like is a lot of dead space on the top and bottom of the page displays. Seems like a waste of reading space.
2. The home screen seems dominated by recommendations (ie, ads) and social networking nonsense. Hope that can be reconfigured to make better use of that screen.....
3. Seems like the person doing the demo couldn't get page turn swiping to work most of the time....maybe it only works with a tap and he forgot?
4. Seems to open book much faster than the new kobo.
5. Not sure about the "less flicker" thing. I think the article may be right...having it only flicker every 6 pages may be more jarring than getting used to the flicker every time.
p.s. Any chance we can consolidate a few of these new nook threads?
