Pogue: The Nook Is A Mess

From Silicon Valley Insider -

Per NY Times' David Pogue, Barnes & Noble's Nook should not have been released. Bottom line, it is a maddeningly slow, half-baked ripoff of the Kindle, and its supposed benefits all have drawbacks. In Poque's own words, "... it’s slower than an anesthetized slug in winter."

It takes three seconds to turn a page, 3x longer than the Kindle does, which is surprising since it uses the same E-Ink screen that the Kindle and even Sony Readers use. And it even longer to do other trivial tasks, such as opening the Settings panel, accessing the bookstore, or even just opening an ebook for the first time.
