While colour eInk might be good for textbooks, I don't think it's very good for plain text books.
This rumour seems to get started again with "New Sources" every few months. |

If it's color e-ink, I'd like a much bigger screen--for magazines, newspapers and nonfiction (science, cookbooks, art, etc). I'd continue to read most other books on a smaller screen.
I get National Geographics delivered and when I checked it out on the Nook Tablet, I really didn't enjoy the experience at all. What was the point? All that scrolling and smaller photos. |

I guess that answers my question about if I should get a Nook Tablet to read magazine PDFs.

I'd rather a 768x1024 non-color eink screen. That would be very nice at 6". I know it's been done with the iRiver Story HD, but the software for that is blah.

Comics, though, are good, especially when designed to be read on the tablet, with panel navigation. I don't see the point of 6" eink screen with poor saturation and contrast. If it has BETTER B&W text and color is just a bonus, I'll take it, but doesn't sound like that's the case. |
