Ahhh all the old Engadget crew, though I must say Josh is probably my favorite Apple fanboy, he makes me giggle. but yeah I had to laugh at the Con when I saw that. "doesn't have access to the kIndle ecosystem'
I don't know my devices have no problem syncing between one and another, oh well.
but he did seem to really like alot, at least for an eink device.
and he even wrote this against the kindle, which is something I've been saying since the original nook came out. Amazon should have to spend time in the Pentaly Box for their design of the Kindle 1 and 2
but Paul Miller did write this:
"What a difference a E Ink touchscreen makes. UI-wise there’s almost no point in comparing the new Nook to the original, or even the Nook Color. After seeing how easy it should be to page through books, jump to pages, change my font size, jump into another book, and preview or purchase a new title, I’m almost embarrassed for Amazon. The Kindle 3′s abstraction of the UI onto hardware buttons and endless menus seems positively last century in comparison. Even typing on the Nook is faster and easier than it is on the Kindle’s hardware keyboard."
What I look for in multiple reviews is common denominators, and so far overwhelmingly every review seems to love it's form factor, the way it feels in your hand and it's weight distribution. and also they all seem to really like the UI and how intuitive it is.
Seem's BN took a lot of care into designing not only the software but the hardware as well.
Will be stopping by my local BN this weekend and hopefully getting a hands on.
