I was recently working on ebook templates for my series and I came across the fact that the Nook, by default, opens a new book and eliminates a great deal of the formatting work done by the publisher.
So, for example, items meant to be centered like book titles and author names, are not. Line-spacing is all wrong, and the Nook line spacing options are inadequate. You can;t actualy adjust fonts independently of using publisher defaults. Reading on my Fire I can easily switch fonts, but on a Nook I am stuck with EITHER font choice OR proper display of the book.
I have been weighing buying a Kindle Paperwhite or a Nook Glowlight for extremely portable nighttime reading, but after seeing how the Nook actually deals with allowing the people who created the content to display it, I am certainly not considering the nook any longer.
Which I think is sad, because I already have two Kindles (three total in the house) and wanted to add in some variety.
Maybe the Kobo? *sigh*
