[brlug-general] (IN)Secure Magazine

[-ray]

I bought a Nook a few weeks ago and liking it so far...  yes you can't 
really read a book on a backlit screen.  The e-Ink makes it feel like a 
real book.  However I like to read at night though, so I wish the Nook or 
Kindle had some little LEDs on the side of the screen to gently illuminate 
the screen so you can read in the dark.  Right now I just use an old 
school booklight haha.
