B&N Announced NOOKcolor

Posted October 26, 2010 by Holly in News | 2 Comments

NOOKcolor vs NOOK

I’ve been waiting for the official announcment to come out about this. For weeks there’s been specuation about what B&N had in store for the nook. I can’t believe the new NOOKcolor is debuting at the same price as the regular nooks that came out a year ago. Crazy what can happen in a year, eh?

Some of the highlights of the new color tablet.

Barnes & Noble today unveiled NOOKcolor, the first full-color touch Reader’s Tablet. Designed for people who love to read every kind of content imaginable, NOOKcolor delivers the ultimate reading experience and features:

 

  • A stunning 7-inch VividView Color Touchscreen and a thin, beautiful and highly portable design
  • The first full-color touch device dedicated to reading everything and built on Android
  • Access to the largest bookstore with an unprecedented selection of over two million digital titles a single search away
  • Read bestsellers to favorite magazines in full color, and interactive children’s picture books and enhanced cookbooks
  • Easy and fast book downloads in seconds over Wi-Fi
  • The most social reading device ever built; you’re only touches away from sharing with friends via Facebook, Twitter and email.
  • The new LendMe App, which enables NOOKcolor users to view LendMe books in their friends’ Barnes & Noble digital libraries and request to borrow a title they’ve been meaning to read
  • 8GB of space plus expandable memory to store it all your digital books, magazines, newspapers and children’s books
NOOKcolor is now available for pre-order at www.NOOKcolor.com and at Barnes & Noble stores tomorrow for $249, and will begin shipping on or around November 19. 
Debuting on NOOKcolor is NOOK kids, a state-of-the-art digital reading experience for children which brings storytime to life with nearly 12,000 interactive kids’ picture books and children’s chapter books.
The company also announced a partnership with the third largest US bookseller, Books-A-Million, in which NOOK products will be sold as the exclusive eReading devices at Books-A-Million’s 229 stores. With this announcement, NOOK products will be available in all Barnes & Noble , Best Buy and Books-A-Million stores and 2,500 Walmart stores, as well as online.
 
I think it’s interesting that they’re pushing the NOOK kids. Since kids are moving more and more into the digital age at home and at school, this is a pretty smart move on the part of B&N, IMO. It’s also smart of them to partner up with BAM. Having the devices in Walmart and other stores makes it more accessible, something I think gave the NOOK an edge over the Kindle right from the beginning. 

Since I don’t have an iPad, I can’t say how the NOOKcolor compares, but I’m sure others will. I can’t wait to get into the store and test it out.

B&N also released exciting news for existing NOOK owners. In the next few weeks they’ll be releasing another update that includes many of the features we’ve been asking for from the beginning, including an organizable library. From the way the press release reads, I think it might only be the B&N library, but it’s a step in the right direction. Also in the works: Faster page turn time, Improved search, Password protection and the big one, Sync.

Buy a #nook, Get a $50 Gift Certificate

Posted June 11, 2010 by Holly in Reviews | 3 Comments

nook™ by Barnes & Noble

FREE $50 Gift Card to start your eBook library, when you buy a NOOK.

Right now Barnes and Noble is offering a pretty great deal. If you buy a nook you get a $50 gift certificate for free, to jump start your library. If you’ve been thinking about buying one, now is a really great time!

I’ve had a few complaints about my nook, but overall I’m very happy with it. I love the convenience of being able to download directly to the device, but I also love how easy it is to sideload content.
