TXT lack of support is an odd ommision but one I have yet to run into any problems.

The nook supports many languages outside of English, not sure why you think it doesn't. It did improve accents and such for foreign languages.

also you can buy books anywhere that e-pub is supported, not just BN again not sure why you said you can't. Did you actually research the product or just making wild claims. I don't know but yeah you can pick up books just about everywhere.

So if spending twice as much just so you can read something in tXT format and landscape but still have no real bookstore platform is your thing then there you go. Have a good time.
Je je, OK I ll be brief.
I did research the product. I tested the Nook for a week and a half. Tested with different formats. Epub is the only choice for nook. PDF is not that good on Nook. Yes, no landscape is a huge lack and especially for PDFs. No margins removal is also a big lack. 6 inch is quite good for reading PDFs in landscape mode if you remove margins. TXT - I have more than 100 boks in TXT, as well as in Doc and RTF. None is supported and I dont have lots of time to mess with Calibre conversions. No Cyrillic supprt.. Yeah, I also need that. I know the font can be embed but again its another waste of time. I will repeat. I really liked the Nook but it does not serve my needs. If you just want to read books - its a good device but for anything else - the are much better choices. Time is priceless and there are readers out there that can save lots of your time. Thanks for you input BTW.
