Thinking about a second reader

jbcohen · 07-07-2011, 08:28 AM

I am thinking about a nextbook from Bestbuy, an electronics store in my area. Anyone heard anything about a Next Book? I like the Kindle, the Nooks and the Kobos but the Next Book seems to be willing to give me touch screen functionality at the Kobo's price. I am aware of the old axiom pay less and get less and I am willing to live with that.

I would suggest that you make a prioritised list of the features that you require, and then see which devices are the best match to that list. That's an approach that's most likely to get you a device that suits your needs.

^^^^ This sounds like a good plan to me.

What they said.
As for Nextbook, it is going to depend on which model; they offer several.
All are essentially android tablets, just how good will depend on the model and your needs/preferences.
This is the first one I heard of:
