BTW, I was reading this recent
Nook review in Wired and the author comes up with this pearl:
Quote:
One other hardware quibble: The Nook is an e-ink reader, and like other e-ink readers, it is almost useless in low light. As one who has vowed to never again buy an Itty-Bitty Book Light, I’d happily give up some of the device’s two-month power surplus for a bit of on-demand LED glow. Tablets may be difficult to read in sunlight, but in low light, they still win.

You can see it is a very geeky point of view, the view of one who doesn't really care going out in daylight and gets the best part of his day hacking away in his computer in his dark basement...
