nook
posted on 2010-01-19 - amd.im/Jdk5
I got my Barnes & Noble nook in the mail last night (finally…). Here are my first impressions.
Pros:
- Ergonomics are much better than my Sony Reader.
- Page turn speeds not nearly as bad as early reviews said (running v1.1.1 software).
- Sony Reader ebooks were easy to side-load
Cons:
- User interface is clumsy and awkward.
- Heavier in the hand than expected (but not overly heavy).
