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!

Glad you guys are back

[Eel O'Brian]

when do you want to come on?

[MrAngryFace]

How often do you record? Oct is wacky for me due to moving to a new place, trip to AZ

[Eel O'Brian]

every other week, usually, that seems to fit best around everyone's schedule

whenever you want to come on, just let us know, you have had an open invitation since the borecast days, you know!

[MrAngryFace]

Probably first recording after im back from AZ on the 25th sounds fine.

You guys sold me on a nook touch. That and crappy changes to the nook iPad software

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Hmm...I thought this podcast was dead.  Downloading.

[E-DuB]

A new podcast from you dudes is always a good thing.

[G The Resurrected]

Good cast guys, been a while I know but I never stopped listening.

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.

at Robert gurgling through his broken-ass headset and everyone else just humoring him with confused "...yeah"s

Great to see you guys back.

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.
