No, it's not working very well on the Fire. Lots of options but slower than molasses in January. I was wondering what the attraction was. I do have Kobos, but they're all down in Texas right now. Will it work on the older models (like the Touch?).

That was kind of my impression (just by reading various comments here). If I can "get by" with the software, I think the screen and page-turn buttons will be enough. (Could be wrong, I don't know, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to try one.)

I think the people who have the most problems with Nook are trying to do things it was not designed to do (like running apps). I know it is not perfect but if all you want to do is put books on it and read, it seems to work fine. I guess everyone needs to find what works best for the way they want to use their reader. I am glad I came back to Nook. I just hope B&N can survive for a while. |

I am able to configure tbe touch screen functions with greater flexibility. I make most of the screen do a next page. Sideloaded books can be organkzed in syztem folders. Night mode. Pluz lots of other stuff.

Agreed. I prefer the deep orange light, but most of all want to have a range of colors possible so I can choose. The color preference is subjective, so it's best to allow the user to select from a range of hues like on the Kobo, Nook and Onyx (i.e. basically all e-readers I'm familiar with that have a color light). |

It remains to be seen how the Oasis color temperature system works but from what I seen it's yellow tinged which is closer to the experience of actual paper and the color transition seems smoother. |

As for the colour range? My Kobo ereaders vary greatly in their colour range and even comparing the same model, the colour range varies. I've noticed the same on other brands of ereader with colour varying illumination. And gee, the Oasis screen looks tiny compared to the new Nook's screen. Hmmm... depends on which paper you are looking at. The paper in most of my pulps are, putting it kindly, rather discoloured from their original beigey colouration. |

Anyone remember when some books were printed on light green paper because it was supposed to be easier on the eyes?
Maybe someone will start a new trend and use pale lavender paper. |

I really like my Voyage. I've noticed this week that the battery is starting to lose capacity. I've been at the beach this week and can't get through a book without recharging. I don't want to spring for a new Oasis. Maybe the new paperwhite given it's water proof and I don't need to read my kindle at the beach through a quart freezer bag! (Which works fine by the way.) The other option is just get one of those battery replacement kits. I may try that first.
