Let me introduce myself as an avid reader and who was less than eager to shift from paper books to digital but was fascinated in trying to get back in my wife's good graces - she would no longer have to have moved 15 crates of books when we move.

On a trip to the US I saw the Nook and got one. Since then I have been of course less than thrilled with Barnes and Noble's less than robust implementation of their reader application on what is essentially a robust platform.

Barnes and Noble's less than noble implementation of the library management functions, the innumerable bugs in the software and the unashamedly partisan treatment to side loaded content leave me less than enthusiastic about looking at their latest offering with any degree of enthusiasm.

But the touch screen is attractive the price point isn't too bad.

What do you all think?
