quick question. Do you think that Barnes and Noble will ever let people use ATT 3g internet to surf the web instead of needing wifi?

[apyankeefan]

@LiverpoolHajduk No, I don't think that will ever happen unless they have a paid subscription available through AT&T. I'm pretty sure the kindle doesn't have this, so I'm not sure what you're talking about...

[mybeckett74]

you think thay will every have text to speech

[apyankeefan]

@mybeckett74 It's a possibility. The only problem is, just like with the kindle, it sounds like a robot. If they ever come up with a TTS voice that sounds good I think it will happen.

Hi,

Will this update allow one to surf the web, access e-mail, etc. via 3G, when there is no wi-fi availability. Or, will I have to root it?

Much Thanks!

so apparently there's a new firmware 1.4.1 that makes the device pretty much unrootable...do you think there's any possiblity in the future that it could be softrooted? i was reading up on it a little, my knowledge of this kinda stuff isnt that great, but from what i could tell its going to be complex to softroot it if they figure out how to.

@apyankeefan Kindle has free 3G access to wikipedia "worldwide."

[mowhui]

they do have 3G thru AT&T.

is the touchscreen menu still laggy in v1.3?

I saw an old video about a Trook application that can be used to find ebooks. Can this be used with the new 1.3 Nook software?

[meillonchazaro]

Does Nook 1.3 update made any improvement on PDF support like zoom or rotate pages?

@apyankeefan The kindle only has a cellular connection (no WiFi), so its "Experimental Browser" works anywhere, anytime.
