eBookNewser Morning News Munch: Pogue Pans the Nook
David Pogue, The New York Times tech columnist, is surely one of the best known geeks around. And his charmingly dorky sense of humor can’t be beat. In his column yesterday, he reviewed the Nook, harshly.
Basically, he says it’s a Kindle rip-off, and all the features Barnes & Noble added to distinguish it from Amazon’s reader–the touch screen, eBook lending, built-in Wi-Fi–are buggy, underthought, or just plain bad.
Reading the review is kind of like watching one of the fight scenes from the 1960s Adam West/Burt Ward Batman TV shows.
