  1. Awesome #nook win: my old Sony ebook store-bought DRM'd books ( http://j.mp/4NQjkn )work on #nook - legally! Hooray for epub! 5:42 AM Dec 13th from Tweetie
  2. Really wish #nook could sync highlights and notes with a web service so you could read them online. Another point for #kindle :-( 5:38 AM Dec 13th from Tweetie
  3. @atompowered yep. Kindle back button is more like a browser's back button. Makes it much easier to navigate the device. 5:34 AM Dec 13th from Tweetie in reply to atompowered
  4. Another thing to miss in the #nook: a Back button. Didn't realize how useful this is on the #kindle until just now :-) 4:05 PM Dec 12th from Tweetie
  5. In some books, the table of contents is "clickable" in, say, the desktop version of the BN ereader, but not on #nook. Huh? 7:26 AM Dec 12th from Tweetie
  6. Not all books have the in-text citations linked properly to the references. Seems to be a problem more so for BN ebooks than for Amazon tho. 7:21 AM Dec 12th from Tweetie
  7. So it looks like I might be wrong about #nook not having the ability to follow in-text citations. It depends on the book, apparently. 7:17 AM Dec 12th from Tweetie
  8. @joyceje ah. I think I know what the problem is. Do you have the name of the book you're reading that has in-text citations? That'd help. 5:39 AM Dec 12th from Tweetie in reply to joyceje
  9. @joyceje do those show up for you when you're on the table of contents? Or is there a shortcut to pulling up the screen with the arrows? 2:28 PM Dec 11th from Tweetie in reply to joyceje
  10. *sigh* You can't click on in-text citations or links in #nook. Yet another #nookfail. Too bad. This really should not be a missing feature. 1:30 PM Dec 11th from Tweetie
  11. I'm getting into these books written by reporters. They usually pack more punch than most non-fiction and are snappier too. 11:37 AM Dec 11th from Tweetie
  12. Used my free BN gift cert to buy "The Family : The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power" by Jeff Sharlet. http://j.mp/7QZY0q 11:35 AM Dec 11th from Tweetie
  13. @ewebbs yay! Congrats! 9:00 AM Dec 11th from Tweetie in reply to ewebbs
  14. @atompowered Yeah, and it looks like the folks at BN seem totally bought in into the ereader concept/market. That may mean good things... 8:23 PM Dec 10th from Tweetie in reply to atompowered
  15. Realizing that the #nook doesn't have the spit-and-polish of the #kindle. The UI isn't as smooth as it could be, IMHO. 6:54 PM Dec 10th from Tweetie
  16. @nookdevs ah. Gotcha. Good luck with trying to get access! The Android underpinnings seem like they might have great potential... 6:30 PM Dec 10th from Tweetie in reply to nookdevs
  17. @atompowered Oooh. Was there an official announcement? 4:31 PM Dec 10th from Tweetie in reply to atompowered
  18. @powervicky Brilliant. 4:30 PM Dec 10th from Tweetie in reply to powervicky
  19. @aarongator There ya go! That's how I felt when I got my Kindle. Good part: I doesn't wear off completely. Or it hasn't yet for me, anyway. 11:03 AM Dec 10th from Tweetie in reply to aarongator
  20. @aarongator Indeedy ditto. Just wrapped up a book that I'd left half-finished for too long :-) Hooray for nook! 6:35 AM Dec 10th from Tweetie in reply to aarongator
