Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
My Nook books are on everything--all three Android devices, and my laptop and desktop. So all that would be an issue would be DRM, which I hope would be crackable after the fact if I don't get around to it now.
And doesn't Kobo have a pretty good store these days?
I am assuming it's smaller than Nook which is smaller than Kindle. Which is way too small. Thence my disgruntlement. Could be unsubstantiated, though.
I don't know, there are a lot of independent booksellers on Kobo, I am given to understand. If the aggregate of many smaller sources comes to anything like one big source, I don't know. I haven't really looked myself, since I have too many books.
Several reviews say the Nook is a bit sluggish for image rich web pages and media. Anyone here noticed that?
Not to mention, not sure if an amazon gift card can be used for a Barnes and Noble product...
So, Astrid is closing up shop. Anyone got another iOS app they like that could replace it?
The Astrid email listed these: Wrike, Wunderlist, Sandglaz, and Any.do.
Have those reviews been updated recently? Because apparently the included Nook browser was originally terrible, but the latest version ships with Chrome as default which is snappy even on older midrange phone.
And the Nook is available on Amazon, insanely.
Jessica,
any.do and wunderlist might work for you. They are free to try. I have used both in the past and I think I prefer any.do.
My to do list system is in flat out riot right now. No app is comfortable for me to use. I have decided to use evernote since they added reminders to their app and I find that to be really useful.
Yep was going to say - at a good price too. OK. I'll take Mom looking at tablets tomorrow. If a nook works for her, certainly the best price. If she ends up with a hundred or so left over on her gift card she can get some other stuff.
Astrid recommended replacements for iOS? I didn't get an email like that for Android.
I'm reading the blog entry where they explain everything, and they explain nothing. Why does being bought mean they have to go away? Is this technology going to reappear inside Yahoo? Even though I have a couple yahoo accounts, that's never going to happen.
Why is their front page mostly a signup page still, then?
I DON'T WANT CHANGE.
