Even though the Barnes & Noble nook is still somewhat rough around the edges, especially as compared to the Amazon Kindle 2, I simply love it. Everything works as promised, and my only frustrations are related to my (admittedly gigantic) library of le...
Wonderful E-ink display, AT&T wireless may be nicer for some than Sprint on the Kindle, Free WiFi in B&N stores, WiFi access at home is nice and fast for buying and shopping for books
Overall slow performance, Touch screen sensitivity is hit and miss, Annotation feature needs buffed up
Ability to expand memory by 16GB, making it up to 18GB — wow!; beautiful and solid hardware; the touchscreen is a neat feature; uses GSM, not CDMA — which means great reception in my part of the country; page turning buttons on both sides of t...
Packaging is a pain to open; eReader books must be read from documents, and their titles are garbled and there is no cover art; battery only lasts about two days; slow eInk refresh rate; multiple crashes, screen lags, false button presses, swiping doe
Excellent reading screen prevents eye strain, Book lending!, Replaceable battery and expandable memory, Android platform. Apps coming soon? One would think, Color touchscreen makes book browsing fun, Access to Google Books titles, The ability to use cust...
Book loading ("formatting") and page turns are too slow, Moody touchscreen and inconsistent sensitivity, No web browser (but Android makes it a future possibility), A lessthanintuitive online shopping experience, 14 days is fair, but a Nook book can only...
Attractive, welldesigned hardware. Color LCD makes menus and covers look pretty. Ability to switch fonts is a welcome change. Booklending works with friends and with libraries. Easy reading experience. Expandable via MicroSD slot. Userreplaceable battery
E Ink screen is noticeably more sluggish than the Kindle's. Occasionally poky interface on the touchscreen. Annoying interface glitches keep tripping up the browsing experience. 0 plus per book might be cheap if you're used to buying dozens of hardcovers
Abstract: We’ve been anticipating the nook for about a month-and-a-half now, even since Barnes & Noble announced the nook back in October. Seeing a potential, real competitor to the Amazon Kindle sporting both an e-ink screen alongside a capacitive color LCD t...
Second, smaller color display for touch-screen navigation. Wireless downloads. 3G and Wi-Fi support. Unlike Kindle, supports ePUB format. One-million-plus-title library.
Not widely available at the time of this writing. Firmware is a little sluggish. No DOC or HTML support.
With a vast catalog of titles, instant downloads via 3G or Wi-Fi, and a nifty second touch-screen display, the Barnes & Noble Nook E-Reader does everything Amazon's Kindle can; it even does some things better....
Secondary color screen, Great selection of books, EInk is easy on the eyes
Sluggish Android performance, Screens feel disconnected from one another, Slower refresh rate than the Kindle
Going into this review, we'd spent a lot of time thinking about what this device meant for ebook readers. We had debates; pointed arguments about whether the Nook is the kind of front-and-center, mass market device that could bring the electronic book con...

Abstract: Kindle beware: there’s a new wireless-toting ebook reader on the scene. The Barnes & Noble nook packs not only the backing of a serious retailer but some interesting design and usability features like ebook loaning, dual displays and touchscreen naviga...

Large library with tens of thousands of e-books, as well as newspapers and magazines; built-in free wireless data network (no PC needed), plus Wi-Fi connectivity; separate capacitive color touch-screen pad for navigation, and a virtual keyboard for not...
Device can be slow, especially when booting up and first accessing a book; no protective carrying case included; color LCD appears to have a significant impact on battery life; in-store reading and loaning capabilities come with notable limits and cave...
While it has a few kinks, the Nook's extra features make it a worthy and enticing alternative to the Kindle. Read full review
