How is everyone enjoying their NC so far? - Page 6

I moved from the Pandigital Novel to the Nook Color a little over a week ago. Very easy to transfer my library as the Novel used the B&N bookstore. I have hacked the Novel into a slate and have the Kindle Reader software on there.

The Nook Color is a big step up: A much better screen, thinner and lighter and with a better battery life.

So far I am happy with my newest toy.

Glad you're enjoying it.

I love my NC but the wife wants to wrap it for Christmas. Got a few more days since she's out of town. If you look at my devices you'll see I'm somewhat of a gadget person (and add a Sony PRS300 {sold} & Cybook {given to daughter}). I had thought that the Astek EZ Reader with Openink Pot firmware had met all my goals but you people are so enthusiastic that I stopped at B&N to check. Went back the next weekend to purchase.

Yes there are some things that are less than perfect - weight, can't read outside, keyboard multi-types - but I still like all the good parts - browser, color, backlit, can be rooted for more apps that I use on my Droid.

My main "rationale" was that I could have it for Christmas to be a 'standin' for the Notion Ink Adam Android tablet that won't ship until February. Now if I could just read my email from it after it's rooted, it would be nearly perfect.

BTW, even though I am a big supporter of Eink, I have no problems reading the NC & as another 'older' person suggested, I don't need a spot light with it. So now I have an outside reader & an inside reader.

I'm rooting for a rooted NC after Christmas.

MC to you NCers.

I was a little skeptical at first, and I still think I prefer eInk over LCD when it comes to reading pure text, but so far I'm liking it a lot. When my micro SD card arrives tomorrow, I'll check out a couple magazines and put a couple movies on it. I'm really hoping to use it with my Marvel Digital Comics subscription in the near future (their web app uses Flash).

I'm trying to decide whether I should take it on my holiday trip instead of my Sony PRS-350. The PRS-350 is the smarter choice for travel (smaller, lighter, superior battery life), but the Nook Color is the new shiny

So my micro SD card arrived today and I thought I'd break it in with the latest issue of National Geographic (I really hope it downloaded the magazine to the card--I couldn't find any way of choosing the download location).

It takes a little getting used to, and I think the magazine reader software could use a little improving, but overall it's a nice experience that helps justify the purchase of the Nook Color at a time where I don't really need yet another eReader. But what can I say, I'm an eReader junkie

e-ink can definitely look better, since it's well, ink-like (see some of the microscope pics), it's eyestrain that's more debatable.
