I suppose it's probably still the lightest device on the market, so there's that. But the things that were taken out -- good pdf support being a major one, and I'm sad that the Calibre collections haven't been integrated -- really make me sad. Ah well.  |
For me, it is still the best simple reader. It has tap to turn, nice big hard buttons, and some layout configuration. My real disappoint with it is that they it's so close, yet still so far. if they made a couple of "small" changes it could be a fantastic reader: configurable GUI (tap on left margin page forwards/backs, ...) more format configuration (selectable font size, margin size, paragraph spacing, get rid of the constraint on side loaded ebooks to main memory, ...
I could really live without most of these, if only they could get the formatting options down. Right now I run most of my stuff through Calibre to get the layout I want, and I would have to do the same thing for the Nook Touch (so getting a Nook Touch doesn't seem like a big improvement to me (I have a 505)).
