I work for a company that is wanting to e-mail some of our media contacts from our Press Release weblog posts. The main dilemma I am running into is discovering a service that doesn’t require opt-in. Does anybody have any suggestions?.

Can I just say what a comfort to find somebody who in fact understands just what theyre speaking about on the net. You definitely learn how to provide a concern for you to gentle making this essential. Lots more people need to look at this as well as understand why part in the account. My spouse and i cant consider you are no more well-liked since you undoubtedly hold the present.

I love my Nook Color! I rooted as well, I’m running rooted stock which basically means I get everything I bought the NC for including the B&N interface but I get all the extras from the various Android markets. It also means I can get library books via ADE or wirelessly using Overdrive. I can read Kindle books via the Kindle app. It lets you install better PDF readers though I haven’t played around with that too much as I don’t have many PDF files.

Rooting lets you install other web browsers such as Dolphin HD which are much better suited for browsing than the stock browser.

Another thing I really like is the Free Friday books. Every Friday there is a book offered for free, all you have to do is download it. It’s a great way to try our new materials and new authors. And of course if you live near a B&N store you can go there and use the read in store option to try out new books.

The best part is that there is a huge community of Nook Color lovers out there, both on the reading side (mobile e-reader site, B&N forums) as well as on the techie side where you can see what great things they are doing with this little e-reader (XDA, Nook Devs, and most of the Android forums now have Color Nook forums). Anything you want to know they can help you with, including the best way to deal with non B&N books.

One thing that drives me nuts about the Nook though is that I have twice now taken the time to create shelves and sort my books, only to have to return my Nook to factory settings (per customer service’s instructions), which erased all the shelves and the organization of my books. I won’t bother creating shelves again. I’ve only had the Nook for a couple of months, so it’s been disappointing to have things go so wrong twice.

Barbara – I do love the NC’s portable size, which is why I resisted getting an iPad.

Lynne – I considered the Kindle and using Calibre, but I borrow books so often from the library that I would be continually transferring files back and forth. And I figured I would get tired of it. One-click transfer is about all I can manage. I kept going back to the Kobo, though, because of its simplicity. In the end, I found it much too slow for my tastes.

I have a nook color and a Kindle. I love my Kindle, there are only a few things I dislike. It’s clear, has no glare, and using Calibre, I can get all my books on it. And put them with my Kindle books in the same library.
The NC is new to me. So far, I love the quality of the screen. It does get a bit iffy on the Internet – does that improve if you root it? I’m thinking of using it for night reading and as a small tablet – much more portable than an ipad.
I just bought a Kobo – couldn’t resist the price at a closing Borders. Lovely screen, nice and simple, buttons are nice, too.

I love my NC although the drawbacks Jean listed are a pain. I really have issues with the touchscreen on the internet. I also have the BW nook which is lighter but has limits. I take that one with me to the gym, etc. Since it is lighter it is easier to use on the treadmill.

It has been fun to have the internet with me wherever I go especially since I do not have an IPad…….yet!

DJ – That’s also why I eliminated the Kindle from the get-go.

For me it was all about being able to read library books. That’s why I chose a Nook over a Kindle. I actually like the Kindle better, it seems lighter and quicker and easier to read on… but no library books, that was the deal-breaker.
