I may have judged it a little too early...though I still don't like the forward/back buttons demanding a 2-hand grip (or the overall form factor)
You can navigate pretty quickly via the LCD and then "print" to the e-ink for reading. Can do that with just about any kind of viewable content...which is pretty cool actually. |
Cool is an understatement. That's completely game-changing. What I've wanted more than anything is just to read my news on ereader. I do that now using feedbooks newspapers on the kindle and it works pretty well.... but this is something else entirely. I can browse the web and then read long articles on a crisp display..
One of the things that I didn't like about the nook (from what little ive seen) is that you can't turn off the LCD. But this lets you do that, and it seems pretty remarkable. I don't think they'll have the backing that B&N, Sony and Amazon provide for their readers but this feature alone makes it attractive. Finding a good market is going to be tough, though. Hopefully there will be a way to access the B&N market. But at least it will have access to the Google Books and upcoming Google Editions.
