It’s been a little while. And I’ve settled into a comfortable preferred reading device pattern. For reading most books on the go and in bright light, like out in the sun, it’s still the Nook most times.
For web, newspapers & magazines at most times, and books in the dark, it’s still the iPad. iPad 2 now, actually. Ask my Dad about the iPad. Gave him my iPad 1 and he loves it. Shows it to everyone.
And now there’s a new e-ink Nook that shrinks it down a bit and adds a touchscreen for that touchy ease of use (hopefully not unlike the iPad). In fact, when it was announced, I emailed someone to say, “this thing looks a lot like what I might imagine a smaller 6″ iPad (or bigger 6″ iPod touch or… iBook) to look like from the front.”
We’ll have to check it out too.
