As far as the article ... pretty sure that was just ripped off. |

Also, I added a tag to the FCC link before I published, and it's still there in the link they used. |

However, I do hope this is a good sign. I really want B&N to succeed even if I don't plan to be their customer. Amazon needs at least a little bit of competition. Barry |

Wow, just wow. One would seriously have thought on something that simple they could at least do something on their own. But no, they live fully up to their reputation of lazy content theft .

This will be interesting. Though I highly doubt it’s going to make me switch from my Kobo Forma.
Maybe they’ll manage to get both hardware and software to be good this time. And won’t limit the space available for sideloaded books. And won’t have bezels fat enough to serve dinner on. |

Sounds like a tablet. I can't see Nook producing an ereader that rivals an Onyx for functionality.

But I've noticed I hold them differently than I do my Glowlight 3 or Glowlight Plus (which also has wider bezels than my Kobos). If I held the Kobos the same way, I'd inadvertently turn pages as my thumb is too big for the Kobo bezels. |

I think it's important to distinguish between our judgements about a device and our experience with a device. If I'd gone into a B&N store to look at the Glowlight 3 I'd never have bought one. It's big and clumsy looking and would need a big pocket to fit it in. And page turn buttons really never interested me.
I bought mine sight unseen and I'm glad I did. I have the original Kobo Aura but the Glowlight 3 is a far nicer device for reading. I have Paperwhites, both new model and old and, all in all I think they're a better device but for simply reading the Glowlight 3 is better. It's big and ugly and nobody with any sense would want one. It's also great for reading. I don't think anything else can quite touch it. For everything else other than the simple act of reading, it's a terrible device. Weird how these things work out, huh! Barry |

NGL3 body and screen are awesome. Software, not so much...

The original nook had mp3 playback it was scrapped for the second eink nook probably because of a few factors like battery life, actual use, expense of the headphone port, form factor, etc.
