Yep, it is. Double-edged sword, I guess. I wonder if the H2O is crisper than the KA1; I've never seen one in person.

I
think it is, but then again, iBooks counts pages in screens, so I dunno.
I did just make a discovery, though: If I tap the center of the screen, the Nook will tell me how many fake pages are left in the chapter. So that's one complaint mostly gone.
I'll give this thing an honest shot. I think it's a worthy device, and I know comparing a $120 MSRP reader to a $250 one isn't exactly fair.
