Every time I hear bad news about B&N/Nook, I wonder if my next e-ink reader is going to have to be a Kobo. I'm still uninterested in getting a Kindle (so many EPUB files I'd have to convert), and I'd hate to have to read exclusively on my tablet. Here's hoping my Simple Touch lasts and lasts.

Good news for those of us who buy ebooks! We can now pass them onto our children, as long as we live in the state of Delaware. And maybe other states (and countries?) will follow. From the Digital Reader:

Do you know that clause in the TOS for the Kindle Store and many other digital content stores which says that the content is licensed to you and is nontransferable?

The state of Delaware just negated that clause (in part) . . .

So the new B&N eink reader has been announced. It has a glowlight, it's white, but guess what....no physical page turn buttons and NO SD EXPANDABLE STORAGE.

I am raging hardcore right now. The expandable memory and the fact that my first e-reader was a 1st edition Nook was the only think keeping me with the company. Now they have broken my heart and I will probably choose a Kobo as my next e-reader. Unless B&N restores the expandable storage, I can't see myself continuing as a loyal customer. I can deal with the lack of physical page turn buttons. I do use them quite a bit but I can DEAL...though I shouldn't have to deal. (I'm being a spoiled brat.) 

I'm just...so disappointed. Things like this shouldn't upset me the way they do. I shouldn't be this heartbroken over a stupid electronic device. But I am. 

I don't care that it is lighter.

I don't care that they have improved the grip.

I don't care about resolution improvements.

I don't care that page turns are no longer flashy.

I don't care that they "expanded" the storage to 4GB. Considering they took away SD expansion this is a loss really.

Not spending $119 on this. 

*Rant Over. Sorry for this outburst.*
