Does Nook Simple Touch Work Much Better Than Kindle Touch To Swap Them? (Mentioned)
Today was an interesting day. I got up at 7 am and was not tired. Breakfast was good. A thick fog was right outside but not very cold. As the train distanced, the fog eventually vanished and sky cleared. I was lucky and bus arrived when I got off the train. I would have walked otherwise for 20 minutes to the store. I did arrive 2 minutes before the opening and the few people ahead of me were no problem. They vanished inside the huge and empty store. I had no trouble finding a sales rep and exchanged my Kindle Touch for a Nook Simple Touch. How did I feel? It was easy to let go of Kindle. Normally, I would keep it and buy a Nook too at these prices but it has been a few years since when a $100 was just a piece of paper that would disappear anyway. May be it is better this way. Less waste? Who cares! I couldn’t delete my Kindle nor even de-register it. I will do that online. Kindle is not an advanced device. The difficulty to even de-register the device (WiFi at Bestbuy wouldn’t work and if I remember correctly Kindle won’t work on peer-to-peer and that is what Bestbuy connection was.) just reminded what a consumer product is. Buy it. Use it. Not Use it. Break it. As long as not returning it, mission accomplished. I have many good things to say about Kindle Touch but Amazon made a super-hardcore consumer device. There is no angle to cheat and make it into anything else. I had tried Nook and Pandigital BW before Kindle. Pandigital Novel BW is about minimum standards. I recommend avoiding it. Nook Simple Touch is good and my only complaints is lack of feature to borrow books from the libraries. It does have a feature to borrow from others which may work as well. We shall see. I expect to root Nook Simple Touch and make it an e-ink Android tablet and what of it? It takes only one and one good app as offline rss reader and I am in business. I can read books and magazines which is NICE but rss feed access means “source points” can begin broadcasting. They are no different than a collection of available information on a specific topic put together by qualified editors. They are incredibly important for many lines of work: A professional can access what fits one’s area on a regular basis without reading through many many sources and searching. The difference is level of valuable “common knowledge” for people in one topic area goes up so much. We need that. Another example would be how companies in a field can keep all staff on the same page as far as inside activities AND what happens in the field. America’s workforce are very distracted because of the quantity of sources and pieces flying at them. Mine should work soon. There is a good niche for e-ink Android tablets.
