Tried out the nook touch at the Barnes & Noble near me.
Pretty nice little unit. Small, touchscreen, fast screen refresh for decent responsiveness. The case is sort of rubberized for a comfortable grippy feel.
The fast screen refresh did seem to come at the cost of more visible "ghosting" when going from, say, the book selection screen to the text of the book. Flipping pages didn't seem to force a full refresh, but changing font size did.
Unlike the Kindle, there are lots of fonts to choose from, although the leading and justification leaves something to be desired. I tried using "publisher's default" for a sample book, and the line height was such that the text was touching, almost overlapping. Ebook typography in general could use some help.
Overall, a nice little reader. All my books are on Kindle, though, so my eggs are in that basket. =)
I watched Kenna turn that book upside down with great purpose. It seemed to make the understanding of the story complete in her world. Whatever it takes, I'm raising readers.

I got tired of balancing my husband's rubberized glasses case on top of a book so I could lean my reader against it at the right angle for me to read and eat my lunch at the same time. I had some pieces already made of selvages from a little pouch that I had made and then torn apart, so I used them to make a triangular body that I filled with crushed walnut shells for weight and added a little bumper at the bottom. PERFECT!
It holds my reader at the proper angle and it is slightly adjustable due to the walnut shells. And it won't be knocked around by cheesy cats, either, as it's fairly heavy!

My father (as well as my mother..) had a strong interest in the world around him and was an avid reader. What set our home apart - in addition to my father´s strange electronic contrations - was that there were books everywhere. A trait I inherited..
Min far - liksom min mor - hade ett starkt intresse för vad som hände i omvärlden. Det som utmärkte familjen Elgs hem - utöver konstiga antenner på taket - var bokhyllor överallt, ett drag som gått i arv.

Katherine Houston turns passion for art into a second career
(Houston) Katherine Houston is not your typical painter. She devotes more than 60 hours a week to her work and instead of using canvas, she paints on the back of plexiglass. What may be most remarkable about this native Houstonian is that she did not start out as an artist. She actually began her career as an investment broker, and it was not until she left her job to raise a family that she began to study and produce art.
This hardworking artist will display her most recent series of paintings alongside Ray Phillips and Tamara Robertson at a group exhibit entitled âIntersection.â The public is invited to an opening reception from 6 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, March 27 at Laura Rathe Fine Art, 2707 Colquitt.
Houston is putting the finishing touches on her new series of plexiglass paintings for the âIntersectionâ exhibit. Her works have grown larger over the years, and while they are still lighter than glass, some weigh as much as 125 pounds. Just moving her pieces around in her studio can mean a lot of heavy lifting.
Houston first became interested in art when she met a neighbor who taught art classes. âI decided on a whim to sign up and at first, it was a bit of a struggle. In fact, Iâm pretty sure my neighbor would have liked to get rid of me at times,â Houston laughs.
Even though she often was frustrated and sometimes left class in tears, Houston stuck with her studies. âI had the work ethic before I had the talent,â she said.
For the past 15 years, Houston has pursued her love of art, working in several media and styles and exploring varied subjects. Her studies continued at the University of Houston, Art League Houston and the Glassell School of Art, as well as under well-known artists Quang Ho, Will Clem, Ruth Munson, Polly Liu and Gary Hernandez.
Houston started painting on glass about three years ago and says she became enamored with the process. âI love the translucence you get that you cannot achieve on canvas, and I also love that glass forces me to paint loosely as the glass does not hold the paint the way that canvas does,â she said. âBefore, my tendency was always to paint very tight or stiffly, but I love the loose painterly effect that I get from painting on glass.â
She is also fascinated by the process of painting in reverse. She explains that this art form has been around since the Middle Ages. The result is not intended to hang in a window with light shining through like stained glass but instead to hang on a wall with light directed towards the piece.
âPainting in reverse can be more challenging than painting on canvas,â she said. âYou paint the foreground first, and your background and layers last. So you have to be very direct, because once you have applied the paint, it is very difficult to make changes. You canât just paint over a mistake.â
Houston says she enjoys the challenge. The student who took one class a week now paints everyday. She experiments with acrylics, inks and glazes, and sometimes even collages paper to the back of her plexiglass creations.
Her work is featured in several galleries as well as in private and corporate collections. In Houston, her works are hanging at Laura Rathe Gallery. She is also represented by Pieces Gallery in Chicago and Ariodante Gallery in New Orleans.
The artist believes that her investment of time and energy in art has paid off. âI think my work has grown, even in a year. Itâs more sophisticated, and that comes from doing. The more you do, and the more you look at art, the better.â
