There are alternatives
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, April 30 2012 @ 12:53 PM EDT

Google books for example, Kobo, & many more options.

Also there are an enormous library of free and public domain works available in various ebook formats if you care to look around.

On this very topic, you could do worse than Bruce Eckel's series of books (including "Thinking in Java") freely downloadable.

He does also sell editions.

Th kindle is nice but not as nice as my galaxy Note.

but it is bigger than the note and 1/3 of the price.

Oh and you may need to root it and add google market and Apps YMMV.

Support for B&N
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, April 30 2012 @ 04:23 PM EDT
Remember the saying "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em"? When M$ filed
suit against B&N, I doubt their intention was "joining", nor was
it their intent to pay B&N hundreds of millions of dollars.

It's not *exactly* what we wanted as an outcome, but it's a far sight better
than it might have been, and much better than what Microsoft had in mind. Of
course, when you have to wrestle a pig, you seldom end up as clean as you'd
like.

I think the support for B&N made a big difference, and will continue to make
a big difference to the next potential target M$ may take aim at. I personally
will continue to support B&N - I'm planning on buying another Android tablet
from them. Not a Windows tablet.

Hopefully, same as lots of people.
