Check out the following screen grab from a Sony Reader 950. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/att...4&d=1308939746
That is using Charis SIL. If anyone with a nook is unsure if you have any eBooks use this font, download one of the samples of any of the new Star Wars eBooks. They use Charis SIL. Then compare the two. I'd like to get opinions from nook STR owners.
To be honest, I'm not sure you should have your GF get a nook. Especially with no word on if B&N is going to fix the font rendering engine. |
I just told her to go for it.
Out of all the readers available right now, I think the Nook has the best hardware and best UI, the touch controls just look awesome as well as the menus. I know you said physical page turn buttons aren't very important for you, I'm sort of the opposite, I hate devices that are purely touch (though I do appreciate the merits of touch controls).
So I guess I'll just buy it on faith and hope B&N updates it. The older Nook saw a decent amount of firmware revisions from what I can tell, so that's some good precedence.
