iPad vs. Nook vs. Kindle
Yesterday at Barnes Kahala they were totally pushing the Nook. Like we walked in and this dude was by the door holding one and all like "Have you seen the Nook?" Lol, it was sort of the kind of thing Kea and I hate, like pressure selling that we are sometimes not assertive enough to get out of, but after awhile, I think we were sort of interested. At first I thought the guy was holding a fake model, you know like they wouldn't give him a real one to demo. The screen looked funny that's why. But then I realized that it's like one of those screens that's designed to look like paper I guess. Someone told me about this. I forget who.
Then he told us that it now comes with internet connection so that you can check your email and stuff on it too. Plus it is like only $250. So I think I might actually be persuaded to desire one of those more than an iPad. It did look like he was having some trouble working it though, which made me wonder if it didn't respond quickly or maybe he was just not used to it. Also, I think academic publishers need to make eBooks before i will get one too.
I think it was a very smart move on Barnes and Noble's part to push this thing though. Like the iPad has so much buzz and I think something like the Nook or Kindle is probably just as good (and way cheaper) for someone like me.
