Not if you want to completely substitute dead tree. For that, you ideally need something A4 sized with ~300 ppi (Nook color only has 169 ppi). Scrolling around and zooming (which is slightly too slow on the Nook color) on a 7" gets old really quick. I would still keep a 7", but only for reading paperback-like ebooks on the road. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
