Nook: First Thoughts

ProsMy Nook, and my Penny Arcade wallpaper

  • Comfortable in the hand
  • Sharp display
  • Long battery life
  • Easy to transfer media on to device
  • Expandable with microSD card
  • Web browser (Beta version) now included
  • LendMe feature allows you to lend a book to another Nook user for 14 days.

Cons

  • Touch screen is a little laggy
  • eInk display refreshes slowly (compared to LCD displays)
  • Can be a little touchy connecting to WiFi
  • LendMe feature, apparently allows you to lend a book ONLY once.

Can’t Decide

  • The weight - It’s a solid feel, but I don’t think it’s heavier than a normal book would be, and certainly not unreasonable for a device that contains a battery.
