That's a good way to put it. And, after writing my last post and comparing Renate's "easy instructions" with the "easy instructions" I often try to share on how to use Emacs to write screenplays in Linux (for example), I have a better appreciation both for Renate and for those who give me those glassy eyed stares when I explain the "easy" 10 or 15 steps to setting up my screenwriting Linux system.
Obviously Renate likes working on the Nooks in the same way I like setting up my "ultimate" screenwriting "package" on Linux. But most people (like me on the Nook) would just as soon install an application that's already set up and ready to go ... and just use it.
At any rate, sometimes it's surprising what you can see in other folks that you fail to see in yourself. There's room for both those who just want to use their eReaders "straight" and for those who want to tweak them. Apparently the GL4 is worth tweaking, so maybe I'll take a closer at one (at some point, when it's on sale).
