Fact: Barnes & Noble is announcing something on Wednesday. Rumour: It’s a full-colour, Android-powered touchscreen eReader. Question: How is it going to be better than a nook app on the Galaxy Tab? [CNET]
what’s the point? I don’t get this crap of reading books on ipads etc. We’ve had lcds for DECADES and noone wanted to read books on them, because it’s STUPID.
That’s why the kindle used e-ink. Because it’s not a bloody lcd.

Viva la eInk!
Someone asked me how I read my Sony Reader (PRS-650 if you must know) in the dark. I answered “same way you read a book in the dark. With a light.”
