bought 1 for z, cuz she wanted a reader. i figure it's nice reader and then some

she's really likes it, and she was anti-mac before we bought it

april really likes it too, and there are alot of good "lesson" type games on there

we found it very useful traveling and looking for things on the road.

sure it's basically an itouch w/ a huge screen.

i had even ordered a 2nd one and sold it for $75 more then i paid lol

My wife loves hers, While I find it a fun Gadget, I am holding off. My cheap little acer netbook handles all the same tasks. (The Acer does lack the nifty touch screen) I am waiting to see some of the competing products.

An ipad does all of the same things as the nook, and B&N is releasing their entire catalog on ipad as well. Just a thought.

I would hate trying to surf the net on an iPad, as you're just not getting the whole internet.

Save a ton of money and pick up a much more useful netbook.

It doesn't even have a USB port? Mega ghey.

I actually got to try one recently when I was shopping for computer parts. They are complete pieces of crap. No multitasking, no usb, and they dont do anything a small netbook cant do. It has even less features then the Iphone, which is pathetic considering its a comp, and not a phone. Not to mention its incapable of using a lot of standard i-net features.

Frankly, its a complete waste of 800$, and you can find far better deals on mini laptops that do way more then that POS.

I'm personally waiting until Amazon makes a kindle that can surf the net before I consider any kind of tablet device.

That's the special hypnosis sensor Apple installed to suck people in...

Even the salesman admitted to me that he isnt sure why anyone would actually want one.


And seriously, no fucking flash? What is this, 1995? Apple is retarded. Even the Mac mini was cooler than that wwaste of electronics.

Except for the most important feature of an ebook reader. The display. I can read from my kindle for hours on end with no eye strain because of no backlighting and can read it outside in bright sunlight with no problems at all. An ebook reader acts just like the page of a book.
