Barnes & Noble booksellers launched its E-Reader, called The Nook. Powered by Android 1.5 and the nook has a 3.5-inch color touchscreen interface for library browsing and book ordering. It allows wireless access to over a million eBooks, magazines and newspapers and purchases can be shared with friends.
The nook’s internal memory can store up to 1500 e-Books but this can be expanded with the MicroSD slot to become virtually limitless. A full battery charge should take 3.5 hours and will be good for ten days of reading so long as you don’t use the device’s wireless capabilities.
All of this is nicely wrapped up in a comfortable and portable 7.7 inch x 4.9 inch x 0.5 inch and 11.2 ounce body for which, naturally, there are a range of accessories. Barnes & Noble has certainly squeezed a lot of useful tech into the pocket-sized nook for US$259. But enough to make it the world’s most advanced e-Reader? What do you think?
