are TPB ebooks even worth getting? i looked at a couple and they were all in pdf files that were not formatted well and painful to read. i'd rather shell out the $10 for something i might be reading for 20 hours]]>Dec 21st 2009 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/

If I knew they was offering a free 14-day trial of nook, I would have went to the local brothel a lot sooner.]]>Dec 21st 2009 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/
10% restocking fee kills it.

That is why I didnt preorder the thing in the first place.]]>Dec 21st 2009 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/
Given the bugginess of the 1.0 release, it shouldn't be hard to make the argument. I was one of the first wave of nook recipients, and couldn't read Tipping Point (the free included book) without certain pages being unviewable (like having several pages torn out of a book). While there are workarounds, if you can't read the books you buy in a normal manner, that should constitute a defect. Just the tip of the iceberg - many problems besides being slow or the occasionally clunky UI. Besides, from a PR perspective, refusing to accept returns w/o charging the 10% at this stage would probably pile bad PR on top of bad PR.

I'll try the update today, and if it doesn't deal with the major bugs, back it goes.

Got my update (to V 1.1) last night. Tried the Nook this AM when I got up.

It's now flipping pages faster than our Sony 505. Also a few other updates that make things better. Things are looking VERY good.

From what I see, it's all GOOD and it will just get better!

The page turning is plenty fast. I'd like to have a race against somewhere flipping the page of a regular book.

that's actually why I bought an ereader, because turning pages in a regular book annoyed me for whatever reason.]]>Dec 21st 2009 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/Dec 21st 2009 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/
The coverflow is faster but still seems to be the most useless feature for me. Everything else is list oriented, then there's the coverflow.]]>Dec 21st 2009 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/Dec 21st 2009 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/Dec 21st 2009 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/Dec 21st 2009 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/Dec 21st 2009 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/Dec 21st 2009 2:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/Dec 21st 2009 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/
Of course, the biggest reason being ePub compatability.

don't mean to double post, but here's proof it doesn't mess with rooting

I just can;t wait til they manage to port the newer ROMs to it. I'd love to have a normal Android "Home Screen" on the bottom screen to launch things from.]]>Dec 21st 2009 5:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/

The Virtual "Swipe" to turn the page...rarely works. I can swipe about ten times in succession and only get one page turn if I'm lucky. Otherwise it's; swipe-wait 5 seconds-swip-wait 5 seconds-and no response. Secondly, if I download a new book...The Cover Page View on the LCD stops being aligned with what is show on the Main Screen. So for instance if I just download a book called "Night Fall" and go see it in cover view..clicking on it will then put my on a book called "The Hunger Games"...Until I do a shut down/start up. 1.1 update seems to have fixed or improved on some issues, Like page number/time display/some refresh rates. But where's the "go to page number update" or make highlighting and look up word functions actually usable. Shouldn't there be a whole section or page dedicated to my notes so I don't have to fish for the actual page to see what I highlighted. It seems like a waste of a function this way. ]]>Dec 21st 2009 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/
Also just noticed that when I used to click on a book to read..there was a cover page of sorts where I could choose to read or rate the book. That seems to now be completely out of the UI. So rating books is no longer possible? Anyone?]]>Dec 21st 2009 3:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/
My nook finally died after testing its battery length (it lasted longer than I expected after the so-so battery life reviews), so I can't verify but I think there is a View Info thingymajig in the menu on the LCD. Hopefully the rating is there because every book I finish, I try and at least give a rating.]]>Dec 21st 2009 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/Dec 22nd 2009 1:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/nook-1-1-update-hitting-now/
