your device. Just don't read after dark in bed ;-) I loved it. I was not
really sure as I loved the feel of the books. Then I discovered it is not the
feel of the book, but the story. As soon as you get into the story the media
goes away.

know if the law suit got settled?? I hadn't heard. If the suit goes against
B&N you may have a device you can not use.

to try before I buy. I was concerned about the back lighting and the shiny
screen. I opened up a book and started to read. Then I opened up Safari and
went to Amazon to find out how much the book was (it was free, it was a demo),
then back to the book. I held it up to the window. I ordered one. My comment
to my wife, "Man am I in trouble" ;-) It was that good.

what they did to the screen, but it is better. It is lighter and faster. I
also have the Kindle, Nook, Borders and Google apps so I can get my books
anywhere, including Apple. There are also a bunch of sites that you can get
better prices. For SciFi, try webscriptions.com. It;s Baen Books outlet. They
email you the book in ePub, Kinle etc format and you can open it on the iPad.

never know when you might want it. If want more. Get the iPad. (The Galaxy
won't stand up, but Apple haters will buy it in droves, after all they settled
for Windows).
