Returning briefly.
Nightmare publicity for the Nook. And he HAD A BN EMPLOYEE WITH HIM!

To use the technical term, it’s slower than an anesthetized slug in winter.

the touch screen is balky and nonresponsive, even for the Nook product manager who demonstrated it for me. The only thing slower than the color strip is the main screen above it. Even though it’s exactly the same E Ink technology that the Kindle and Sony Readers use, the Nook’s screen is achingly slower than the Kindle’s. It takes nearly three seconds to turn a page — three times longer than the Kindle — which is really disruptive if you’re in midsentence.

“Over one million titles?” Yes, but well over half of those are junky Google scans of free, obscure, pre-1923 out-of-copyright books, filled with typos. (They’re also available for the Kindle, but Amazon doesn’t even count them).

In four days, my Nook locked up twice and displayed an “Android operating system has crashed” message twice.
