While trying to transfer annotations from a book in the old B&N eReader iOS app (apparently it can’t be done), I came across this opinion from a couple of years ago.
I’m Returning my Nook Tablet – Here’s Why (The Digital Reader)
There’s one observation italicized, for good reason: In spite of the fact that I paid B&N good money for the NT, this is far more their tablet than it is mine. Insert what you’d like in place of “B&N” and “the NT” to describe many complaints about operating systems and access to authors’ works (whether it be prose or the poetry we call code) these days.
Another nicely-stated observation, to which I’ll add the italics: I have an iPad and while I chafe at the limitations imposed by Apple, at least with the iPad I am trapped in a huge garden. I could stay in there for years and never encounter the walls. That’s what we’re working with: finding those gardens where it’s likely we won’t notice the walls very often.
