Barnes & Noble = Kodak

(before there were e-readers, there was the handwriting on the wall....)

Neither Kodak nor B&N appear to be literate.

Just bought a nook this week- for 80 bucks off the normal price! I’ve been wanting one for some time- but not as a reader. I make small wooden items that require quite a bit of time for finishing- my wife objects to the smell of the finish, so I have to go off somewhere else to do it, and I like to watch tv during this process (about the only time I enjoy tv). So, the nook, with a speaker attached will be perfect for this.
Also, I have a feeling that in a year or so (if it hasn’t already happened), some bright individual will come out with a way to jailbreak nooks, enabling them to used in whatever manner one wishes.

We have a 10 inch Galaxy something, great for watching vids, as a hotspot, but oddly enough, it won’t format one of my books, says not formatted for this screen size! Weird, huh?

I have a Kindle. I hate it. I use it to download free samples, then if I want the whole book, I usually buy a hardcover. And now I know why.
