It'll be improved upon. It's like Kobo and the Vox, though it sounds like with fewer problems out of the box. This probably where the Nook Tablet will have some edge; its UI has matured in comparison and should be an improvement upon the original with fewer newborn quirks.
I wanted to kill the NYT review this morning, however, when the author seemed to say you could only download library books on Kindles and not the Nook. WTF?  The OverDrive app works great on the NC ... Fact check, please! |
I saw that! I don't think half these reviewers know what they are talking about.
I think the Vox in the long run will work out it's problems. The ones it has are known Android issues that still exists in newer versions. It seems that google has ignore it for the most part.
I do think Amazon may have already dealt with it by using a hybrid. At least I hope so. no mentions in the reviews about it.
The nook Tablet looks really nice I only wish it had been cheaper but I think I will be happy with the Fire. As you know I'm only getting it for reading and surfing. Hubby wants to play games on it but that's about it.
