I tried out the old (B&W) Nook in conjunction w/ Calibre a couple of months ago. I was impressed with Calibre, but horrified at the slow and cumbersome UI on the Nook for reading newspapers and magazines. It took forever to navigate to a particular article and the layout / organization was nowhere near as nice as in the Kindle I later purchased.

But now there's the Nook STC, and against my better judgment I'm wondering how it stacks up against the Kindle

.

Is the new Nook appreciably better than the old one in reading/navigating newspapers? Is it even better than the Kindle? (which I love overall, but I hate hate hate losing my place every time I click Back from an article)

Thanks in advance for your insights!

Regards,
Adam

P.S. -- And there's no way to wirelessly send articles to the Nook STC like we can w/ Amazon Whispernet, right?
