"This freaks me out. How does this work? ¶ Relaaaax. We don't have real access to your browser history. But what we can do, is check it against a list of sites by taking advantage of a CSS information leak. Your browser colors visited links differently than non-visited links, so all we do is loop through the most popular porn sites and check the link color. It's not perfect but it gets us pretty far.

"Barnes & Noble's new Nook e-reader is the e-reader that competitors must now beat. So long Kindle 2, it was nice knowing you, but a better reader has come along. And just in time for the holidays, too. If Amazon doesn't have a new model up its sleeve, it will be a Merry Christmas at B&N and a sack of coal for Amazon. Here's why:"

I don't think his reasons amount to anything like that level of confidence, though, and in particular his reason 1 (better hardware!) mostly refers to things I'm sure don't matter, like a replaceable battery, and WiFi.

Loanable books, and the ability to read public domain stuff and your own files without paying an amazon tax? That's all I need to hear. Agreed that some of his other reasons are pretty bogus.

On the Kindle you can already read your own stuff, pretty much anything in PDF format without paying a penny.

True. But the lending thing is awesome. Its what people want. And it will be a boon for libraries
- Roberto Bonini
yes lending is awesome! that could be game changing. i'm pretty sold on the nook already, but i'm really annoyed that they don't allow you to purchase books while i'm outside of the US with my US credit card, even though you can download overseas.

If I didn't already have a Kindle, I'd consider the Nook, but I'm really holding out till the new Tablet computers come out next year. Also, I really, really want full color e-ink and that's probably 2 or 3 years away.

If MS Courier has some sort of book reading features, I might look into that. Otherwise, I would really look into Nook. (god, I hate the stupid rhyming that happens when I use that word now).
