Yes, it’s a tablet-type screen. I wouldn’t expect to see an authorized Kindle app for the Nook for obvious reasons, but if you root it you can run the generic Android Kindle app (though it might be a bit flaky, not being optimized for the device).
Well, organizing the collection is what I’d LIKE it to do. I also tried to use it to load a freely-distributed public domain ePub book that I couldn’t get to load right. I’m confident I probably could with more tinkering, but the necessity of tinkering turned me off.
I try to avoid using things I couldn’t explain over the phone to my wife.
I have an iPad and recently bought a Kindle (1 week ago)… I LOVE the Kindle, and have had no problem accessing or converting books using Calibre… Overdrive, Guttenberg, and Torrent sites have provided me with more books than I can read in a year…
The eInk is amazing, and makes my iPad seem like a glowing lead brick.
I concur. I’m having a challenge finding a use for my iPad at all, as blasphemous as this seems to people these days. I originally thought it’d replace my Kindle, but in a head to head comparison, the Kindle is simply the superior device for reading books.
The iPad is a neat device and all. I just have no use for it. I find typing emails with the virtual keyboard to be cumbersome. I also don’t play computer games, and maybe that’s one of its draws. I don’t know.
I’ve done it and the kindle app works nicely on the nook. I’ve even read a few books on it.
