question by Dan X : What are some of the differences between the original “Picture of Dorian Gray” and the Lippincott edition are ?
I read the originally published version, then bought a Wilde anthology that’s probably the Lippincott. I have no time to read the whole thing again, though (too many other works on my list). Can anyone tell where in the act or in the chapter of the cut material? I imagine this is the uncut version, because the same anthology (“The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde” by Barnes and Noble has published books) includes the uncut four-act version of “The Importance of Being Earnest,” so it is likely that “Dorian” is complete auch.Wenn anyone had the same anthology, page numbers would also be very useful sein.Vielen Thanks! Who ever read this book? I recommend it …. Best answer:

response from Desert Queen
Oscar Wilde wrote the first novel in 1890 to Lippincott’s Magazine. (Went from version from 1891, the print as a book) This version of Chapter 5 was not considered. The chapter was a domestic view of the first love Sibyl Vane, Dorian’s. He made other minor changes throughout the book. Unfortunately, this protocol is not fully known, nor I am sure all of the original work is available to compare. I have both the collected works of Oscar Wilde Wordsworth Editions, and The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde Harper Collins published Centenary Edition. Unfortunately I have not the same anthology, but I know that both the Oxford and the Harper Collins editions the story exactly as it was printed in 1891. Dorian Gray is by far my favorite novel I’ve read it again and again and read again, since I was 15!

Have you been between two or Kindle Nook think for a good eBook reader? Well, there are similarities and differences between the two, you need to be taken into consideration.

Similarity 1 – On-screen display of both the Kindle ebook reader 2 and Nook use E Ink technology for their display reading. This is the wave of the future and the text may, in the extreme corners of the site can be accessed and even in very bright light. The impression seems very clear that the word printed on the bottom of the screen.

Difference 1 – Navigation screen color The meal was a small touch-screen navigation on the screen. You can watch your title and graphic-color publication. The screen doubles as a touch pad. The public will tell if this is a better functioning or not.

Similarity 2 – and 3G wireless, the Kindle 2, and the meal at a time to give you the possibility to download new titles and publications, to which access is available. Otherwise, you can use the 3G mobile phone service. There is no contract with either participated.

Difference of service 2 – International Wireless and 3G Only two international Kindle offers. So if you are a traveler or live outside the United States, but the Kindle allows you to download new titles and publications. It is a big plus for the Kindle 2, and one of the reasons why it is so popular.

Similarity 3 – default memory space both allow you to 2G of memory when you buy the unit. That’s enough space for a maximum of 1,500 titles.

Difference 3 – Adding memory-The Nook, you can add more memory so that you can hold up to 17,500 titles. 1500 titles in four years in reading a book a day. Is this a feature that Nook is entered, or is it obsolete?

Other differences-The meal allows you to borrow your books, other than the application is downloaded. The credit can be a maximum of two weeks and that the lender not read the book during this time.

The Nook uses the brand new “Android” software from Google. Time will tell if the developer of this software and begin to take seriously that other applications can be used on the platform.

The eReader in stock? Barnes & Noble has seemed not grossly underestimated demand for the first tee and it will be available for shipment to January 15 at the time of writing this article. This could be a blow for them, if people want the device as a gift for the holidays.

So buy, what is the best? The meal has some nice features like the possibility of credit and the navigation screen color that could be considered good. But these are just “bells and whistles” on a device that is not international relations, and uses a platform that has not yet proved the UN?

The Kindle 2 is always a popular choice among consumers for its international capabilities and proven.

Have you been pondering between the Kindle 2 or the Nook for a good ebook reader? Well, there are some similarities and very big differences between the two that you’ll need to take into account. Similarity 1- Screen Display- Both the Kindle 2 and Nook ebook readers use E-Ink technologies for their reading display. This is the wave of the future and the text can be viewed at extreme angles of site and also in very bright conditions. The print looks more clear than the printed word right up against the bottom side of the display screen. Difference 1- Navigation Color Screen- The Nook has a smaller touch screen navigation underneath the display screen. You can see your titles and publication graphics in full color. The screen also doubles as a touch keyboard. The public will have to tell if this is a better feature or not. Similarity 2 – Wireless and 3G Capabilities- The Kindle 2 and the Nook both give you the ability to download new titles and publications wherever wireless internet is available. Where it is not, you can use the 3G cellular service. There is no contract involved with either. Difference 2- International Wireless and 3G- Only the Kindle 2 offers International service. So if you are a traveller or live outside the U. S. , only the Kindle will allow you to download new titles and publications. This is a big plus for the Kindle 2 and is one of the reasons it is so popular. Similarity 3- Default Memory Space- Both allow you 2G of memory when you purchase the device. This is enough space to hold up to 1,500 titles. Difference 3- Added Memory- The Nook allows you to add more memory so you can hold up to 17,500 titles. 1,500 titles is over 4 years of reading material at one book a day. Is this a feature that will put Nook ahead, or is it unnecessary? Other Differences- The Nook gives you the ability to lend your books out to others that have downloaded an application. The lending time is 2 weeks maximum and the lender can not read the book during that time. The Nook uses the brand new “Android” software from Google. Time will tell if developers take this software seriously and start making various applications that can be used on the platform. Is the eReader in Stock? Barnes and Noble has seemed to have grossly under-estimated it’s demand for this initial launch and the device is not available for shipment until January 15th at the time of writing this article. That could be a blow for them if people want the device as a gift for the holidays. So Which is the Better Buy? The Nook has a few interesting features such as the lending capability and color navigation screen that could be seen as good. But are these just “bells and whistles” on a device that doesn’t give international coverage and uses a platform that is yet un-proven? The Kindle 2 is still the popular choice among consumers because of it’s international capabilities and proven track-record.

The latest chapter of the e-book battle is written on the fight between the Amazon Kindle and the Barnes & Noble’s Nook. Originally introduced in November 2007, the Amazon Kindle has immediately dominated the market making Amazon by 70% more profitable thanks largely to high sales of new Kindle models. However, in November 2009, Barnes & Noble launched the Nook that appears to be the Kindle’s first major competitor. a) Technology Both the Kindle and the Nook have a built-in 3G wireless connection provided by AT&T and E-Link display technology that is based on similar microprocessors. However, the Nook has more internal memory (2GB) than the Kindle (180MB) and supports also an additional micro SD card up to 16GB, while the Kindle has an internal flash memory of 2 GB. Besides, the Nook comes with a packed Wi-Fi connectivity and incorporates a second display at the bottom that serves as the keyboard. This allows users to flip through the e-books and find what they are looking for. In effect, the Nook is the first e-reader with two screens. The Kindle supports AZW, AA & AAX, MP3, MOBI, PRC, PDF, HTML, DOC, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP files (through conversion). The Nook supports EPUB, PDF, PDB, MP3, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP files. b) Features The Nook is the first e-book reader to launch Google Android-powered features with a 6″ E-ink color touch screen that allows users to navigate content, but also use it as a virtual keyboard for searches. Barnes & Noble has chosen Android to power the Nook to take advantage of the fact that it is an open platform with a broad developer community that will allow the organization to add in the future separate Android apps to run on the device. One of the Nook’s key features is that, unlike the Kindle, users have the ability to lend out books to their friends for up to 2 weeks for free. For instance, they can buy a book from Barnes & Noble’s e-book store and send it to a friend’s Nook, iPhone or iPod Touch. Moreover, they can send it to BlackBerry and Motorola phones as well as to Windows and Mac PC users who have installed Barnes & Noble’s e-Reader software. Perhaps the major advantage of the Kindle over the Nook is the fact that it offers free Internet. The Kindle features a free EVDO cellular 3G connection to the Internet over Sprint allowing users to transfer content through it and browsing on the web without JavaScript and a PC connection. The Kindle users can access Wikipedia anytime, wherever because of Kindle’s built-in browser. Besides the Kindle can be purchased worldwide, while, for the time being, the Nook does not sell e-books outside of the United States. Finally, the Kindle features a text-to-speech feature, while the Nook comes with a built-in speaker. c) Ergonomics In terms of ergonomics, both the Kindle and the Nook share similar dimensions (Kindle: 8. 0 × 5. 3 × 0. 8 inches, Nook: 7. 7 x 4. 9 x 0. 5 inches), but the Kindle is 1 ounce lighter than the Nook (Kindle: 10. 4 ounces, Nook: 11. 2 ounces). Besides, the Kindle features a simple user interface. On the other hand, the Kindle keyboard is an issue as it has limited web-browsing capabilities and rather large page-turning buttons on its right and left edges. d) Battery Life The Kindle has longer battery life than the Nook (Kindle: 14 days, Nook: 10 days) because it has only one screen to power. For the Nook, the most rational battery life is 5 days, but this is subject to the use of the color touch screen. However, another consideration is the battery replacement options. The Kindle has a built0in battery, which means that it is not removable. The Nook features a user serviceable battery that can be replaced. Conclusion To decide which e-book reader is the best between the Kindle and the Nook is not easy because it has mostly to do with the user. In short, the Kindle is faster and lighter than the Nook, has longer battery life and is longer tested in the market. However, it features a really awkward and chunky keyboard and lacks lending rights. The Nook features a color screen, allows borrowing e-books between friends, and free browsing at Barnes & Noble store. On the other hand, it boot slowly, and has short battery life because of its color screen and Wi-Fi. For price-sensitive users, the Nook is probably the best option as it comes at $259 retail price, while the Kindle is at $399; so, it really depends on who is using it and how.
