As far as "hardware", my own opinion is that the Kindle 3 is the best
for readability and operation.
Been der, done dat on most of the hardware out there.
I've done "MobiPocket" on my Palm Centro (not enuf screen)
PanDigital Novel 7: (does everything, but it's a poorly powered and "not
quite Android tablet", pain in the ass to read in bed)
B&N Nook: Absolutely horrible navigation
PC/Laptop: not good for reading in bed
The Kindle 3 is almost perfect, but it doesn't support "EPUB" for4mat
from your local library.
There's no real reason why Amazon can't support EPUB. Agreed there's a
DRM issue. But why can B&N (Nook) and so many ereaders support EPUB ?
Yes, I'm on a crusade/Don Quixote mission. It pisses me off that *1*
"lack of attention" item screws up a whole platform.
I'd ream Jeff Bezoz out personally if I had a contact.
