Nook- Slower than the PRS 500?
Greetings,
I purchased a nook in store at a local B and N a few days ago. I still have over a week left to return and the jury is still out. I like the device over all, but a couple of things really bother me. The first is the battery life which is the worst of any e-ink device I've owned (looking like I'm going to have to charge it every other day with sparing wireless use: i.e. download my newspaper, do a couple of searches on the store). The second is the slow page turning. I will say that it opens books pretty quickly (much quicker than my PB360). Side by side with my other Ebook readers, the nook clearly lags in page turning. It was totally dusted by my Pocketbook 360. What shocks me is that my old PRS-500, manufactured in 2006, was actually quicker at turning pages than the nook (the screen of the nook was _way_ better, of course). How can "the world's most advanced ereader" be outclassed in a crucial area by four year old tech? Any suggestions or thoughts?
