It is a lot easier to judge things if you at least attempt to put aside prejudice.

The Kindle, the Nook, the Ipad and all the other devices including my 23 inch desktop, and 15 inch notebook make it easier to get, read and store books and other reading matter.

Isn't that what this forum is all about.

I look forward to comparing the Kindle Color with a touch screen and the Nook Color 2. I love my Kindle 3G as far as reading goes but navigation is a real pain. A touch screen would be much easier to use but it will add nothing to the reading experience.

On another subject. I don't believe this so called cloud storage and experience is going to be all the sellers are claiming it will be. Unless you are paying the cellular companies through the nose for their data services, you won't be able to touch the clouds all the time. WiFi is not always available. I like ample device storage, and frankly, I have envied the Nook crowd for having it with their extra SD card storage.
