Why. Why the capitalization. Don't buy into their sales pitch, man! *NM* Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 09/11/2010 06:16:23 AM
If you're going to be doing a lot of typing for some reason, you might prefer the Kindle because the NOOK is not easy to type on. But for the purposes of getting books and simple tasks, the NOOK's type pad is perfectly sufficient.

And the no-DRM options ARE wonderful.

I'm not really against the kindle, but I enjoy my NOOK enough that I would not reconsider in the slightest!!

Kindle or Nook? Gher - 09/11/2010 01:56:02 AM 1002 Views
Kindle is all DRM. For that reason, I'm wary. Ghavrel - 09/11/2010 02:01:52 AM 707 Views
unless you're into uncommon titles and textbooks, I don't see why one needs Amazon's market. LadyLorraine - 09/11/2010 03:48:01 AM 702 Views

Is the type pad extra slow? Or is it just as good as the average touchscreen? Gher - 09/11/2010 10:08:48 PM 646 Views
The touch pad is a bit slow, but it's never detracted from the performance for me LadyLorraine - 09/11/2010 10:53:58 PM 702 Views
