    Paugh. This is not an eReader angle that you should waste time watching, I think.

    Looks like no one at that company knows the meaning of the word ergonomics.

    So it's, in essence, a non-touchscreen PADD? Seems like Star Wars and Star Trek tech is imminent.

    The copyright, drm, freaks are NOT going to like this device. How long before they want money for every "performance"? #intelreaderebooktexttospeech

    One has to question how effectively the device could be used by the visually impaired. It looks like it has a text based menu system (though presumably it could read menu options aloud) and those controls don't look like they have braille on them. Plus there's the question of how well blind people can aim a camera at a page for effective text capture. Lets just hope they tested all those factors. #intelreaderebooktexttospeech

    Upon reading the title I thought "Oh, I doubt that. Upon seeing the pictures, yeah, I don't know what they thought they were doing. #nookvsalex

    Yeah, our dear friends at that other blog smelled this one coming when Alex first dropped. Its announcement was flung together, perhaps not unlike its current patent applications, to beat the Nook's reveal. [www.engadget.com] #nookvsalex

    @cardboredbox: That was my initial thought too. As long as there is no injunction before the Nook goes on sale I'm good. #nookvsalex

    In reply to Don't Get too Excited About the Nook's Lending Feature
    The only issue I have with this device, If me and my wife both want to read a book on the Kindel I can. I have never had to buy a book just for myself. It looks like even with this lending that I will only be able to get it once and only for 14 days. If I want the same book as my wife I will have to buy it. I usually am reading 3-4 books at the same time and this will keep me from buying a Nook. #nooklending

    @Charles Epperson: As long as you have the same devices on your Barnes And Noble account (say 2 Nooks for you and your wife), you can both have the full books. You don't need the lending feature as long as both devices are registered to the same account. #nooklending
