Nook Simple Touch versus Kindle Touch First Impressions (Reflection)
I had used Nook prior to using my Kindle Touch for over one month but it feels different this time around. I took the advice and charged fully before trying to register. The rest went very fast and I was registered to go. I did try to subscribe to my two newspapers that I had unsubscribed earlier today but surprisingly San Francisco Chronicle was not available. I subscribed to Sacramento Bee and had no worries. As soon as Barnes and Noble hears how loud and often I complain about some things, they will make changes very fast. I read through most of Sac Bee which I had already read earlier today. Kindle Touch is more adapted than Nook is. A software upgrade is needed. I agree Nook is much faster than Kindle and feels great how that screen responds. Kindle Touch is very temperamental. One has to do things as expected or it goes opposite direction, ignores your touch and more surprises. Somebody else would call Kindle Touch female and Nook male in personality. I myself do not like two things about Nook inasmuch as I like how straightforward it is: First Nook navigation does not allow for jumping to next article as Kindle Touch does by a vertical drag and summaries of articles for newspaper are good but personally I would rather full articles and I read as much as I want before I swipe to next article versus going back and hitting title to roll the entire article as Nook does. Second is Kindle Touch fonts and font sizes work so much better. I want bigger fonts and easier navigation as Kindle Touch does. Nook needs a few changes to be more competitive but hardware is solid. It won’t be tomorrow but Nook Simple Touch is fast enough to be rooted and run an rss aggregater as its dedicated purpose. That is what I need it to do and how about the loss of San Francisco Chronicle? As a dedicated aggregater, there should be more than one source for collecting articles from various sources for specific reader groups. That works better than newspapers. I should be able to find at least one source that covers California info of many sources selected so an educated professional living in California needs to know will receive regularly. The same for City of San Francisco. I need to know everything I need to know about these topics and not what is sold to me. That is more effective than newspapers and can cost to subscribe but will be very good information. We will go there once I root the Nook.
