Considering Scion stated she was giving up on her NC a couple weeks ago and was putting it on craigslist, she probably shouldn't criticize. But that's okay. I'm a perfectionist and I insist on things being the best they can be. Some of you apparently think anything is okay as long as it comes from a certain company. Somewhere between these two philosophies is a good place to be. I've said little more than praise for the Nook STR. But if you guys want to keep taking cheap, personal shots at me then go ahead. Just remember it is just a reader, an inanimate object. Not really worth getting personal over regardless of your opinion of it. If you want to get upset about opinions then reserve it for hot topics like religion, politics, nationality, etc.
