I hope that they let you flip the e-ink screen sideways for a better experience not having to pan left and right all the time. That'd be a good update in the future..]]>Apr 23rd 2010 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/

Actually, the lower portion DOES show a colored browser, while the top is monochrome. It's the best of both worlds!]]>Apr 23rd 2010 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/Regarding your "alot" problem, read this: http://bit.ly/cXh0QZ pretty funny :)]]>Apr 23rd 2010 7:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/Apr 23rd 2010 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/Dude, no one said anything about the iPad.

It would be nice if Amazon supported ePub.]]>Apr 23rd 2010 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/Apr 23rd 2010 4:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/Apr 23rd 2010 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/Apr 23rd 2010 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/
It would be trivial to add and would *really* improve the nook as an *eBook* reader. Gah! I'm not even mentioning sorting of sideloaded books or anything else. I just want bloody "Go to page"!]]>Apr 23rd 2010 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/
Go to a certain page would be nice since they haven't delivered on their now vanished claim that they were working on a way to auto-sync your place in a book across devices (like Kindle's whispersync). Failing that, I want to go to a particular page directly. Right now, I like to whip out the iPhone when I have a few minutes while I'm out. I spend most of that time finding my place.]]>Apr 23rd 2010 4:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/Apr 23rd 2010 3:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/
I have never read the internet in black and white not even when we had black and white CRT monitors..

It will be awful. No reading an ebook a whole different story]]>Apr 23rd 2010 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/Apr 23rd 2010 5:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/Apr 23rd 2010 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/Apr 23rd 2010 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/Apr 23rd 2010 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/Apr 23rd 2010 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/Apr 23rd 2010 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/Apr 23rd 2010 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/Apr 23rd 2010 3:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/
e-ink... horribly marketed since 2009

my dad is the vice president of a marketing and outsourcing company that deals pretty much with every big name in the business and I had to explain to him what e-ink is...since it just looks like a crappy b/w lcd thats what he though it was. Very few people (read: everyday consumers) actually know what e ink is and therefore think they are just crappy lcd screens]]>Apr 23rd 2010 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/

Kindle does web browsing on 3G. How is that messing anything up for anybody? Seems like AT&T needs to worry about their smartphone traffic issues, not a couple rooted Nooks. ]]>Apr 24th 2010 1:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/Apr 23rd 2010 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/Apr 23rd 2010 3:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/Thats a funny avatar.]]>Apr 23rd 2010 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/Apr 23rd 2010 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/23/barnes-and-noble-nook-gaming-and-web-browsing-impressions/
It feels like it has.
