15:49:37 [Pipian-Work]So the good news is that Amazon pretty much sealed the deal and ensured that I will be getting a Nook Touch
22:23:21 [nathanbp|work]oh?
22:23:27 [nathanbp|work]what's wrong with the new kindles?
22:37:43 [Pipian-Work]Nothing other than that they didn't actively do anything MORE than the Nook Touch already did
22:37:49 [Pipian-Work]And since I can /root/ the Nook Touch
22:38:00 [nathanbp|work]ah, ok
22:38:10 [Pipian-Work]I would say that just about outweighs the ability to get 3G on the Kindle.
22:38:14 [nathanbp|work]I have no interest in a non e-ink device
22:38:24 [Pipian-Work]I got one of the cheap touchpads
22:38:33 [Pipian-Work]Otherwise I wouldn't have gotten a tablet
22:38:58 [nathanbp|work]I'm considering a new kindle since I have one of the 2nd gen ones
22:39:09 [nathanbp|work]but I don't really use it enough to be worth it probably
22:40:24 [Pipian-Work]I like the Nook Touch when I played with it.
22:40:33 [Pipian-Work]I was apprehensive at first
22:40:35 [Pipian-Work]But I've warmed up
22:41:07 [nathanbp|work]I dunno that I'd buy a kindle, but if all you're doing is reading fiction, e-ink is really nice
22:41:16 [Pipian-Work]Well yeah
22:41:18 [Pipian-Work]That's the idea.
22:41:26 [Pipian-Work]My intent (before the Touchpad fire sale)
22:41:30 [Pipian-Work]Was to get an eInk device.
22:42:53 [Pipian-Work]The Touchpad fire sale only dded something
22:43:14 [nathanbp|work]wasn't the touchpad fire sale still more expensive than a kindle though?
23:00:34 [nathanbp|work]-!- nathanbp|work has left #Cochineal [Quit: Quit: Leaving.]
23:02:42 [Pipian-Work]Nathan, yes it was, but it's cheaper than the Kindle Fire.
23:02:52 [Pipian-Work]Even the beefy 32GB version is
