As nice as this device looks, it seem painfully slow. The trasitions from page to page are too labored. Why can’t the hole device, top screen included run on Android, or does it? I would like to see it be able to finger swipe if it’s a capacitive screen. This needs a better chipset than it has now, which we don’t know what that is, but it’s not fast enough.

Also, since it’s Android, where is the web browser? This is a miss for me. Great looks and nice color screen but the execution isn’t well thought out.

Thanks for the unboxing. I’m curious about how PDFs from academic journals render on it.

Here’s an open-access philosophy journal. They have free downloadable PDFs of all the articles the publish.

http://www.jesp.org

The typesetting for this journal is very similar to other philosophy journals. I’m curious to see what one of the PDFs from that site look like, and hear what you think about the legibility of those PDFs.

If the Nook renders those PDFs well, this would be huge for academics.
