Hi there
BBC News - Samsung-made Nook tablet announced by Barnes & Noble
To me this is a BIG mistake making a device with POOR screen resolution - even if it is cheap -- Even on a small Samsung S5 phone I can EASILY tell the difference between the nice HD (1020 X 1080) resolution on that screen and lower res devices.
If I'm reading using say a Kindle I want the best resolution I can get -- if you have poor resolution when you increase the font size the fonts can appear "jagged" and reading isn't such a pleasurable experience.
While the market might be looking for lower cost devices -- compromising on SCREEN RESOLUTION IMO is one step too far -- I even don't like the bog standard 15.6 inch screen laptops with a measly 768 X 1366 resolution - abd as you get older you definitely want a better resolution - especially as you are likely to use larger font sizes where imperfections are easily noticed.
That's why I like the SP3 -- you can't beat the stupendous resolution either - easily seen even on a 12 inch screen. !!! (But it's NOT cheap though !!!).
Cheers
