The KT on the otherhand is rather bland, with the exception of xray. The amazon ecosystem with whispersync has me locked in, however and at the end of the day, the KT is a very efficient mobi ereader and i am happy I sold my KK and upgraded to the KT. |
I did the NOOK STR thing for a few months. Left it for Kobo. The homescreen is a dud (for me) and I really don't find the squat shape comfortable to hold. The recess in the back doesn't do anything for me. But, I overcame that with a cover, so that's not why I bailed. I'm not into hacking eInk devices, so that didn't entice me to stay with it. The biggie for me is being able to sync sideloaded books across the Kindle and Kindle Fire, as I enjoy reading on tablets with a quality screen.
