Bookstore giant Barnes & Noble just announced today the release of their future eBook reader known as the Nook, and they are already taking orders. Priced competitively at $259, the Nook costs pretty much the same as the once popular Kindle, but offers a whole lot more. Check out some of the coolest specs the Nook has to offer:
- Color Touch Screen – Unlike the other eBooks which are pure black and white
- Screen Display – No glare or backlight with adjustable text size
- Share Books – You can share books you have purchased with your friends and family for free
- Huge Selection – There are over 1,000,000 available books (twice as many as the Kindle)
- Wi-fi Capable – Connect to the internet with local hotspots
- Media Slot – Supports Micro SD cards for extra storage space of up to 17,500 books
- 3G Network – Offered by AT&T so you can buy books from almost anywhere
- Customization – You can get custom covers with different colors as well as upload photos
- Free books – There are over 1,000 free books offered to Nook buyers
- Hands-on Demos – You can test out the Nook before buying at any of the Barnes & Noble stores
Barnes and Noble has chosen a very strategized release date, which comes right before the heavy holiday shopping. For those of you who have held off on buying a Kindle, your patience has just paid off. The Nook will make the perfect holiday gift to those who love to read and travel quite frequently. Additionally, you may find consumer product reviews of eReaders on the Consupo website.
great post appreciate you work i like the various offers.
That is really cool – seems a bit more high-tech than the Sony Reader, which I have. I’ll have to check this out!
yes in my opinion it is better than Sony Reader.
awesome product i have ever been through. i will just wait for this product to launch, expect to have mp3 player with it, just inform me when it will be released.
I have been a techy since I was 8 back on the Atari
Love the article.
Ever since the original Kindle came out, I questioned why I would need one of these. I wasn’t a big reader (now I understand why) and I just couldn’t figure out how this could help me. When the price dropped on the Kindle, I decided to check it out. From the moment I took it off the charger, I was hooked. I started reading a book, and just as everyone has said – the reader disappeared in my hand as if I were reading a bound paper book. However, my hand never cramped from holding it, I didn’t have to keep readjusting my position as I flipped pages, and I didn’t have to keep manipulating a book light if I read in a dark room. The Kindle has brought me back into the world of reading and I’m really glad I’ve taken the plunge. The screen is clear and “pages” refresh quickly – there isn’t much more I can say than others already have – the Kindle is, in short, amazing.
If you think the Kindle is so amazing you should try using the Nook
