Yea, I don't have/never had ANY e-reader yet. I was/am deciding between the two e-readers mentioned above. I read the other reviews but, e-reader technology lately has been changing nearly overnight and ALL THE OTHer posts are old and many outdated. And no one compared the white Pocketbook IQ with the nook color. And some of the reviews aren't for the pocketbook IQ specifically and one is in a language (I think Russian) that I don't know. To my knowledge refurbished color nooks can't get extended warranties which I really want/ need value is more imp. to me then savings unless the savings is huge. Yes this savings could be huge that's why I asked about quality. And to be honest right now I have the nook color at 334$ w/out tax and the white pocketbook IQ 701 at 246$ These are all both with it's required minimum accessories and the color nook with a 25$ discount buying the (Barnes and Noble Membership card for 20$ a yr). I don't love that the IQ doesn't come with ANY warranty just a warranty discount CARD.
Timothywh- did you get the pocketbook 701 IQ and then return it for the nook color which you like better? Is that what you meant above in the start of your reply? Thanks for your reply- now I'll defiantly visit a Barnes and Noble and try the nook color out in the store. Your reply defiantly helped.
Can any other people reply?
