This was a peer-reviewed work done by physicists, engineers, designers, and demolition experts. Review the data. Every single one of the specialists that have gone over this information has been paid off, or been provided with defective empirical evidence?

From my limited understanding, the B&N format is a copy-protected ePub, and the protection is a standard....which sounds similar to the way apple originally worked with music (Fairplay). This seems to have some promise. The e-ink is WAY better than the TFT screens, in my opinion. Looks great in sunlight and other well lit environments...more like a book.

I've been looking at one for personal use, but am too cheap to have bought one to try out. The proprietary formats are, ironically enough, what makes the iPad one of leading choices. Both B&N and Amazon produce software that can run on the iPad. As of right now, it's the leader, in my mind, as far as format choices go. I'm just not sure that the screen and ergonomics of it make it the best reader. I'd be curious to know what your decision is. Interesting.

I love my neti pot and recommend nasal irrigation all the time! No, it’s not exactly killer party conversation but good habits w/ the sinuses can go a long way toward good health. I am a huge believer in natural cures, and in not jumping to meds or surgery too quickly. However I must say that if things get to the “chronic” stage don’t mess around. See your doctor and then if you get a ct scan make sure you know all your options (it used to be that sinus surgery was the only option. but now there are less invasive choices like balloon sinuplasty). –Erin G Right on, Mike.
