Barnes & Noble nook 1.3 Software Update Demo

[KhMErTRiAd]

Wait a minute, did you say you cannot web browse using the 3G connection? It HAS to be wifi only?? Please answer.

[MotorolaTriumphUser]

@KhMErTRiAd Yes that is true kinda of stupid right the only thing you can do on 3g is download a book and how offten are you going to download a book on the go.

[MissSara]

is this the original nook, or the nook color? does this mean the nook that is $149 has a web browser now?! Please someone tell me

[monkeychipsx2]

@MissSara

this is the original nook. Yes it has a web browser, however it will be limited because of the e-ink screen as it has a low refresh rate. the nook color has an lcd or tft screen, which makes it more of a tablet than an ereader for most people.

[SublimeSwagger1]

@MissSara this is the e ink display nook so the original nook i am pretty sure it has a web browser but i am bot sure

[MultiOliver5]

they have 1.5 now its cool

[JonahhChavarria]

is the software android?

[wareeniphanay]

@JonahhChavarria yes

[richstall]

Seems like its a good product, but needs more software changes. I would buy one but just watching you, your having trouble with the interface and with the touch pad. I'll wait for the better model

2 question about nook:

1 - when i read can i turn-off the color-screen?

2 - i can change size of the font only in the epub, or also in the pdf format?

thanks

bye bye

[darkcamry]

is ur 3g?

[esandeen]

@LOCKERZ1142

Doubtful. Looks at the screen refresh rate when it switches screens - now think about how well video would work. :)

[Pinwormx]

Why not just make the touch area a trackpad for the games and web?

[esandeen]

@Pinwormx

No kidding, I was thinking the exact same thing. Patents maybe?

That weird split-brain between the two screens is about the only thing that makes me hesitate before getting this device...

[LOVECAKExoxo]

can u read manga books?

[teebeartheunicorn]

@LOVECAKExoxo i think so... i guess they count as pictures??

[LOVECAKExoxo]

@LOCKERZ1142 i have the new nook and i think u can but u have to download adobe flash player which i havent done yet so yeah .....but i think you'll b able to after the download

[Aislan4414]

I want to get this sooo much! I will have it. You totally sold me on it. I like this one better than the Kindle and the sony ereaders from what I've seen. I'm so excited to get one. I love to read so much this will help me tremendously. I won't have to carry around so many books. Your reviews are so great!

[09barack]

Ummm..i am about to buy a eBook. I wanted to know can you get on youtube or you know, twitter and facebook. ? [Just asking] :D

[OmegaJuicebox]

@09barack

I don't think the Nook can do Flash, but Facebook and Twitter maybe. 

[jc3202]

does the nook have free 3g like kindle or does it have just wifi ?

[poeticmurder911]

why add games and more distractions to a book reader? dumb move

[afstclair]

@poeticmurder911 Its for if your bored and give your eyes a break

I got my Nook last week and I'm simply loving it, as soon as I turned it on it instantly started to download and install firmware 1.3, everything runs smoothly, I have read an entire book and going 200+ pages on my second one, with the Nook you choose from thousands of ebooks free from the internet, there's literally hundreds of sites offering free ebooks on line, many in pdf or epup formats which the Nook supports with no problem, I can't be happier with this gadget!

[aiapaimei]

What a Piece of Junk! OMG! I wouldn't spend my hard earned money on this junk. this would be cool 15 years ago! What a rip off.

[jrad10x10]

That's it, i'm getting a Nook lol. I was having a tough time between whether I should get the Kindle 2 or the Nook. Despite people saying that the Kindle 2 is the better buy, i'm completely SOLD on getting this for my birthday.

[DaveFDP]

I plan on getting one before the end of this year. I'm glad to see that they are keeping the updates coming. The lack of a "Go To Page #" function is still laughably odd.

[macguy112]

I love my nook. People in the subway are always looking at me thinking it's a Kindle lol.

[superE230]

I bought a kindle a couple months ago. And I am having second thoughts with the new nook updates. Is the kindle still better? And could i switch my books onto a new nook if i switched?

[conceitedperson78]

@superE230

I don't think you can :(

I have been saving my money up to buy a Nook for months and I finally have enough money so I plan to get it this weekend, and good thing I waited until the weekend because I was considering getting a kindle instead, but my minds made up on the Nook (I'm a Barnes and Noble Loyalist anyway)

[jaclyngirl713]

@superE230 You couldn't transfer them, I don't think. Unless they were PDFs. If you're not sure if they are, they probably aren't.

[crazybeast6]

i love my nook after buying it yesterday.......do you know if the Android Marketplace will be available on the nook (however limited it may be?)

[trojan675]

@crazybeast6 it will be/.....and yea itll be limited....the alex will be more open though

[MalcolmsonStudios]

Love Ya Lisa :)

[pobably911]
