Nook Simple Touch Review

Aparentemente para Barnes and Noble mis comentarios y calificación acerca del lector electrónico Nook Simple Touch fueron ofensivos y violaron los términos de uso del sitio web. No se si fueron mis faltas ortográficas en English o si fue mi sinceridad o si en realidad mis comentarios fueron ofensivos... dejo al lector  el que mejor juzgue las letras.

Lo que más gracia me dió fue leer "Your rating on this item has been hidden because it is in violation of our Terms of Use." ("su calificación fue ocultada debido a que se encuentra violando nuestros términos de uso")... desde cuando calificar 3 estrellitas de 5 es un pecado?

En pro de tener libertad de expresión, y esperando no infringir los Term of Use de Amazon, procedí a publicar mi review del Nook ST en este último sitio.. a quien dentro de poco también le expresaré mis impresiones del Kindle Touch (stay tuned ;) ).


--Review--
Nice hardware but a software with lack of features
The reader in general is fine

Pros:
- Nice  materials
- Best Graphic User Interface than Kindle Touch
- Nice e-ink screen
- Great speed of screen refreshing 


Cons:
- Physically buttons for Back and Forward are kind of hard to press

- No landscape mode... I don't understand why :(

- No Web Browser or RSS reader app or something like that

- PDF reader usually do not render properly if the pdf has Tables, Bullets, Images and other graphic different from text.

- You Can Not Delete, move or rename Files from the device User Interface, you always have to connect it to the computer to do this actions... this makes you waist a lot of time.

- The device has a hidden partition used to store the books you purchased at B&N store. You cannot have access to that partition (with or without computer) in order to delete this purchased books.

- You can not export your Highlight or Notes from the books. Kindle is a step forward with this "most have" feature.

- I have had the nook for a 8 days (wifi on) and the automatic software update 1.1.0 still don't appear to be installed or downloaded. 

- The reader does not have the option to Lock the screen with a secret password or Dots combinations like Android phones or tablets. Remember that you have stored your credit card inside the account of the device!!

- The Home screen lacks the option to fold or expand the 3 sections: Reading now, library and Next Readings.
