Hacker News Reader

The last 3 times I've fiddled with a Nook in B&N, I've been extremely disappointed. "Lame" comes to mind strongly. I've crashed it all 3 times, and the UI is opaque and non-intuitive to say the least. Two Nooks have also had burned-in images from the "screensaver" that took a good 20+ screen changes to completely eliminate.

The Kindle is infinitely better, but it's still laughably far from a product I'd actually buy because of how locked-down it is.

I've had the same experience. Having the interface split between a color touchscreen and a non-touch e-ink screen is bad enough but did they have to screw up basic navigation on top of that?

"Hilarious" is editorializing by the submitter, not part of the original title. For what it's worth, this article is one of the least hilarious things I have read recently, but of course tastes vary.

For lack of something hilarious I went on to watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Cd7Bsp3dDo

Ehn, I was amused.

I think I read that Waugh book in college.
