[QUOTE="Zaukrie, post: 5430469, member: 2057"] I have a Nook color. It is a great e-reader. It is a marginal pdf reader right now. They have a crippled e-reader installed. That said, Barnes and Noble is supposedly releasing an update this month or next, that will enable Android 2.2. There is some discussion about how open this will be, or if you'll be to only get apps from the B&N store. I read an entire Dragon (remember when they used to be compiled....) on my color Nook the other day. Since it is not formatted for an e-reader, there was some annoying sliding of the pdf back and forth required. I'd guess a larger e-reader would be better for pdfs. However, a larger tablet/e-reader is not as good for reading books in e-reader format, as they are heavier. For those that have not tried a tablet for more than an hour or two, I can assure you that they are the future. So much better than a laptop for using in your lap, on a couch, whatever. There will still be desktops and laptops, but the future is in tablets. I can't wait for the Xoom and the iPad2 to come out, so I can get a bigger one for uses other than reading.... [/QUOTE]
