I can't imagine reading a book like this. How many page turns would it translate to?

http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/4632/snape.png]]>Jul 22nd 2010 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/nook-for-android-now-available-to-download-offers-ebook-lending/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/nook-for-android-now-available-to-download-offers-ebook-lending/
I am sure my tiny-screened phone was not their target demographic for this app but still being able to feel like I could use the app would be nice. It runs unphathomably slow (sometimes page turns were upwards of 20 seconds) and anything ePub was cut off on both sides regardless of how I held it. Even on books bought from the BN store barely had a paragraph on the page.

Great concept but its just not really phathomable for older phones. Thanks T-Mobile.]]>Jul 23rd 2010 12:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/nook-for-android-now-available-to-download-offers-ebook-lending/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/nook-for-android-now-available-to-download-offers-ebook-lending/Jul 22nd 2010 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/nook-for-android-now-available-to-download-offers-ebook-lending/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/nook-for-android-now-available-to-download-offers-ebook-lending/Jul 22nd 2010 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/nook-for-android-now-available-to-download-offers-ebook-lending/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/nook-for-android-now-available-to-download-offers-ebook-lending/
Actually, I've seen both in front of me and I would say that they are very close in terms of clarity and colors, but I felt that the Galaxy S was fairly better due to the extra screen estate. 3.5 inch takes away from the beauty of the Ratina display (Yes, 0.5 inch does make a difference). Putting both phones 10 inch away from my eyes makes all the pixels fade into oblivion, no matter how much you zoom into text, and if you take the battery life saving the S-AMOLED does, it makes S-AMOLED a winner in every aspect, sorry but don't get caught up into the Apple overhype marketing of 320 bijilion pixels per inch.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/nook-for-android-now-available-to-download-offers-ebook-lending/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/nook-for-android-now-available-to-download-offers-ebook-lending/Jul 22nd 2010 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/nook-for-android-now-available-to-download-offers-ebook-lending/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/nook-for-android-now-available-to-download-offers-ebook-lending/
The fact that in all the "tests" of the new screen technologies they had to magnify text several tens of times for you to see how superior the retina display is should tell you how at REGULAR text sizes the advantage isn't so apparent. ]]>Jul 22nd 2010 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/nook-for-android-now-available-to-download-offers-ebook-lending/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/nook-for-android-now-available-to-download-offers-ebook-lending/Course, I couldn't use this with a 3.5" screen. But then again, thats just me, others probably would be comfortable with it.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/nook-for-android-now-available-to-download-offers-ebook-lending/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/nook-for-android-now-available-to-download-offers-ebook-lending/
Apple hater?? Where did that come from?! I had an iPhone 3G S for the past year and I said it clear that both screens are very close. Where did you see my hate? Or is it wrong to state that a phone is better than iPhone?

I guess you'd be able to get around the no-brightness control with the Android system brightness, but I think the Kindle app may actually take things a step further by shading the white type to gray with its brightness slider.
