I mean commone sense would know it has to have some link to a webbrowser, how else would you buy wirelessly and have access to Facebook and twitter.
Just WOW.

Egads, ease up on the drama, with the sighs and the "wows." You're getting all worked up over a consumer product. Perhaps you should focus your ire on things that actually matter.
Here is what B&N writes on their website:

No. Your NOOK is designed for an optimized reading experience.

Wouldn't it just be easier to say that the browser is experimental, or nothing at all, instead of pretending that they didn't include a browser because they wanted to provide an "optimized reading experience." It would be like shitting on someone's lawn and saying "I did it to provide optimal growing conditions." Note, seeing as you lack basic reading comprehension skills, I am not saying that B&N pooped on anything, nor am I saying that having a gimped browser is worse than having no browser at all. The point of the analogy was not the shitting, it was a vivid example of trying to dress something up. A lack of features does not in anyway "optimize" the reading experience. Again, a lack of attention to details defines the B&N experience. B&N, meet your future bride, bankruptcy.
Also note that B&N said they "designed" the nook for an optimized reading experience, when clearly all they did was use the Nook color os for the Nook Touch(thus there was no specific design for an optimized reading experience). Not a really big deal, but as I've pointed out, you really can't trust what B&N says.

go to about page 33 of the userguide and it explains the "find" word and phrases within the nook.
It even shows the what the results look like etc.
It uses the exact same UI as my Nook color.
Next time spellbanish do a little research before writing super long posts, that'll save you some time and point out features you clearly don't know about. It doesn't take all that long. |
So you latch onto one thing and say that negates my whole post? Perhaps you need a lesson in reading comprehension. My post was about how B&N lacks attention to detail in the features they provide, not about the specific features. Yet you seem to anally focus on one thing. Here is the thesis statement of my post:

Note that the post is about a whole lot more than just the search function. When I did talk about the search function, I noted my own ignorance:

However, in a comparison chart between the Kindle and the Nook Touch on the-ebook-reader.com, its lists search as a common feature with the kindle. However, it does not say if search is both intra and interbook, or just intra book.

From the user guide link you provided, there is an intrabook search feature, but not an interbook search function. Something new was learned. That is why people have discussions (although most are capable of doing it in a much more civil fashion than you).
