David Pogue heads to the beach to "curl up with a good electronic book." In the video, The New York Times tech columnist points out that Barnes & Noble's new electronic book store of 750,000 ebooks is not exactly what it seems.
Pogue also notes that Amazon.com still has a better selection of books you actually may want to read, not to mention cheaper prices on books such as "Dune" and "Freakonomics."
But Pogue does like the fact that you can read ebooks from Barnes & Noble on a Mac or PC, and notes that company's iPhone app is 'very nice" since it allows you to change the colors and font and perform other tasks not possible on Amazon's app.
"So, even if Barnes & Noble's 1.0 ebook store is a little flawed, it is a good enough start, and competition is always good," says Pogue as he puts on suntan lotion.
