BASH looks great on my new Nook

Post by capmarvel »

Wife bought me a Nook Tablet for Christmas ...just thought I'd mention that BASH looks great on the 7 inch color screen and I find it fairly readable. You do have to resize, move around a bit as the page was not designed for 7 inches - this is the same issue I have reading comics. If this 7 inch format takes off (with the Nook and Kindle Fire), perhaps companies will start optimizing for this size.

I used to hate reading electronically but recently have found the advantages of using an ereader - in fact, I've given up reading my paper copy of Clash of Kings and have continued on with the Nook and don't miss the paper at all.

Just wondering if others have "gone electric"?

I prefer a 10 inch screen myself. I don't have a tablet, but I just flip the page rotation 90 degrees and full screen the pdf and read on my netbook. Looks good on there too.

I like reading in bed before I go to sleep and the 7 inch tablet works much better for this (easier to hold). Also, obviously no keyboard in the way like on my netbook.

Was less than $200 with the wife's discount - can't justify paying 3 times more for the iPad.

Amazing that I can hold in my hand a device that is more powerful than the mainframes I used in college and it costs 10,000 times less.

PS- Hope everyone has a great 2012!

I got a Kiobo Vox for the holidays (the Nook and Fire won't allow me to buy books here in Canada). I'll try to read the PDF on it too to see how it looks.
