Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0:
I stopped in Barnes & Noble for another fondle of the Nook Edition of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0.
That screen is very, very glossy. It's also harsh for reading. Despite the different screen modes and brightness settings I tried.
B&N has really locked down the two demo units I previously tried after I published this post. That's not coincidental. Someone panicked. Now I can't use the button for splitscreen or multitasking and I can't upload screensnaps to this blog or even email! They also locked down the Notifications swipe-down gesture!
However, they didn't cut off Install Unknown Sources. So I got evil and downloaded Google Play Books and the Kindle app. Both were a pain to get. The Kindle app came from Samsung's app store. The Google app from the Play Store -- somehow (I had to do some contortions I don't recall now).
Neither of them would run as-is. Both wanted me to sign into my Amazon and Google accounts before I could try anything. No. I deleted both apps before I left B&N.
