Ready for the "Nook"? Uh, not quite sure it's ready for us.


David Pogue, tech-guy extraordinaire gives the thumbs down to Barnes & Noble's entry into the e-book reader market, The Nook. Never mind that these devices sold out early in the holiday season. I recently gave one a whirl with decidedly poor results. Try before you buy at a local store. You'll find the screen refresh as the pages change leaves much to be desired.
Pogue says. "And in the electronics business, Greed-Borne Insanity is contagious.
That’s when electronics executives, blinded by dollar signs on their corneas, rush a product to market before it’s ready."
I agree!
