Despite sound issues and a terrible itch, we're back with tech talk including HP Touchpad and WebOS, 3DS and Vita, Amazon's Kindle Fire Tablet and new Kindle ereader lineup, Netflix and Quikster, and some comic book/video game/epublishing talk sprinkled throughout.  Thanks for being so patient, and we'll talk with you again soon!

Like the tablet discussion.  Was kinda wavering on whether or not to get a Fire or wait for the Nook Color 2, but I'll probably just settle for an e-ink reader and wait for a tablet with some decent hardware.

I own an ipad2 and actually just picked up a Nook Touch- just recently the Nook software for iPad was 'updated'. iirc you could purchase and search the store in the app, now you have to go to the website? Whether im misremembering it or not- a non reflective light e-ink e-reader is ideal for reading more than comic books/manga imo. Worth having it- and cheap at this point.

Im not a big fan of the color e-readers, its like whats the point? Its now a gimped ipad that loses almost all the benefits over the ipad when it comes to book reading. We'll see how the Fire performs I suppose- but all of these different devices using android os in the past have failed to make any huge mark for themselves.
