The device looks nice, but a quick comparison of some of my existing Kindle titles/prices vs. B&N eBook titles/prices indicates that B&N eBook prices are a full 25% higher than Amazon. A Kindle edition of a reasonably popular paperback costs $6.39, while the same title at B&N for their eBook edition is $7.99... whats up with that?
...Apparently i have reached a point where I literally have too much time on my hands. I know this becuase I took enough time to take a look at the new comic strip (being a fan of Batman), hoping Jordan Gorfinkel might actually deliver some creativity. Um, looks like the same crew that dreamed up Windows ME (now known as Vista) are the (ahem) talent responsible for the story line.
Hands down the absolute worst abuse of a noble medium I have ever witnessed in my 39 years, and 2 min of my life that would have been better spent reading U.S. tax code from 1977.
It is so absolutely stereotypically / artificially 'geeked out' that it completely fails to generate any humor amid contrived situations riddled with tech jargon -- ha ha ha, tech people can understand the terms so they MUST find it funny, right? Yawn.
Ok, ok, sorry for the ramble, but it was literally SO bad I just had to say something.
