But if I want something that big, I'll reach for my Nook HD.
The advantage of the Nexus you just bought is, it's even lighter than my Nook HD. And has a higher resolution. So, that makes it a very good choice for an ereader. One of these days, I hope to get to a store and handle one. I'd love to compare it to my Nook. I don't think I'll get one though, because I do like the SD card slot in my Nook.
I am so glad I decided against the new Fires. |
Yeah but look where it got me. I am now leery of buying any Kindles from Amazon till they get their quality control fix. I might have a awesome PW1 but I went through 3 HDXs so I feel the pain of those who didn't get a good reader last year or this year but keep in mind HDX costs way more than a PW so you would think it would be quality made. I also read some bad things about using blue LEDs on your eyes so I guess it's best not to keep trying. I loved my first one and would have kept it had the brightness controller not failed but I am reading all over the Amazon forum and user reviews about these units out of blue failing so maybe even if I got a good one it could die and then I would be playing the replacement game again.
However if Amazon comes out with a version that use normal LEDs I would love to try again maybe next year. $230 for a tablet that's display is ruined by color bleed is just unthinkable. Amazon has really blown it in my book.
