If the BN S2 has the same UI for storing books in that books from BN is stored in a separate place/library from books from non-BN books along different methods of access, then it would be troublesome. Haven't read how the Samsung Nook tablets stored it books.... |

I would really love an amoled screen tablet for night reading (even with screen dimming apps, normal lcds are too bright and bleed thru.
hope the s1 goes on clearance. maybe the nook one will too eventually |

If you are going to do that I would just get me a tablet and add the nook app to it. But then again I would not get a Samsung tablet or another Samsung phone again. I cannot stay all of the bloat ware that Samsung and some of the other tablet company adds to their tablets. I also cannot read on a tablet screen if I am going to be reading really reading I have to have e-ink or paper.

Sounds like it will be much better for reading than gaming or video, at least until they update the driver software holding it back. Not an issue for me since I'm not looking for anything but a reader or buying til the holidays after I see what everybody else is up to. B&N showing their hand at $399 simplifies the process just a bit. Last edited by fjtorres; 09-03-2015 at 04:47 PM. |

I was so excited as I was reading my email concerning this. All the wonderful descriptions... I thought, "finally, a new e-ink Nook." Then I scrolled down the email and saw the image. My heart sunk... another tablet.
It's a pass for me, again. |

At a time when tablet sales are falling off, B&N has a more expensive "nook tablet". They should have stuck with their $50-$60 e-ink nook and stayed out of the tablet market. Plus they could simply improve their tablet app.
