New Barnes & Noble Nook Simple Touch Unboxing

[guineapig55635]

how spendy are the books and did it say that harry potter was free???

[guineapig55635]

I was wondering if you can play games from the internet???

[mobitureblog]

@guineapig55635 Not too my knowledge, the browser is very basic

[guineapig55635]

@mobitureblog so can you go on youtube well if you can you cant hear any thing right??????

[mobitureblog]

@guineapig55635 The browser isn't any good honestly, YouTube is out of the question cause you can't play any videos

[cheatable456]

Android!?

[gagandesires]

Can it play MP3 files?

[flyhighshrooms99]

ok how do you delete books on the nook simple touch



[lishalaurel1]

can it go on the internet?

[mobitureblog]

@lishalaurel1 Yes it can

[okenz100]

One question... Does the Nook have Internet please mail me back Ist got my Nook and need information!!!

[mobitureblog]

@okenz100 Yes it does

[okenz100]

@mobitureblog How do you get onto it?

[75JackVoss]

i just got it and it rocks

[deadSIRENS]

Hi. How does the nook perform when reading pdf files?

[mobitureblog]

@deadSIRENS It works very well

[TheMorganAndCourtney]

i looked on the B&N website and it said that the wall outlit thing to charge it was sold seperlaty but it was in your box so now im confused?????!!!!!!!

[mobitureblog]

@TheMorganAndCourtney Hmm I'm not sure, all I know is this one came with it

[vanhizzl3]

@mobitureblog Currently they only sell with the USB charge cable and not the wall charger, since he did this review awhile ago his box included the outlet charger now they make you buy it separately.

[okenz100]

@mobitureblog Mine came with one too

[iOSDeveloperGrl]

@TheMorganAndCourtney When you purchase the device you can click a little box that asks if you would like to purchase it also.

[mSmArIsOl97]

The simple nook is now $79! I wanna get oneee!

[JohnyFrikinPineapple]

I am deciding to get either a nook touch or a kindle touch. Seeing as they are both the same price but the nook seems to have a faster respond to the touch screen i might go with the nook. Any advice?

[mobitureblog]

@JohnyFrikinPineapple I prefer the Kindle myself, you are going to have a bigger selection of books and Amazon overall has a better ecosystem.

[tmmm307]

hey.....now that this thing is only 99$....should i buy this or the kindle touch....2nd question is that if i buy a nook cant i donlod any book from amazon.com

[mobitureblog]

@tmmm307 I would probably go with the Kindle Touch, you will have more options as far as books go and it's the same price

[tmmm307]

@mobitureblog ahan.....ok....i live in india....will the kindle touch (99$) adds version work here

[mobitureblog]

@tmmm307 Unfortunately the one with ads is only available in the US

[FredericDelaunois]

When will reviews seriously start to answer the REAL questions that people ask themselves. Such as: 1) what's the price ? Is it cheap ? 2) Is it easy to access your downloaded books ? Is it easy to classify your books in folders (if ever that ability exists) ? 3) Is there any possiblity for someone to work on his eReader folders, books through his computer ? That's what we wanna know !

[IljasMS]

Does this thing have russian language?

[luggage12345]

The touchpad is cheaper than this

[mobitureblog]

@luggage12345 Yeah but the chances of finding a Touchpad in stores is slim

[mobitureblog]

@luggage12345 Yeah but the chances of finding a Touchpad in stores is slim

[n213978745]

I have question about the dictionary built-in function. How quick and easy it is for me to look up a word? Also, will I be able to make notation of books, such as highlighting words, making notes etc?

[ilovejb1017]

Do u have to buy each book

You can't really SEE us...

[austin7433]

OW u know u don't have to yell we can here you just talking.

[Rmoonfur]

If the regular nook and the nook color had a kid,this would be it.

Nook Original: Colorless screen, page turn buttons

Nook Color: touchscreen

New nook: has all three of these!

ps. i love nook!

[MrChasestroud]

i got a nook color the day it came out now i feel stupid for buying it cause i wanted this exzact one.

[Refbn123]

I want to ship it to Singapore.Do I have to download books to the computer first?

[AwesomeThangs]

people, give him a break about the harry potter thing!!! its the first thing that popped into his head!!! its just an example!!!!!!!!!

[MrHolesinmypants]

@julieannaClark how did u get them. i always thought that u couldnt....

[julieannaClark]

I have Harry Potter on my nook...The official books...

[running593]

@julieannaClark how?

[julieannaClark]

@running593  Uhmm...Bit torrent. I feel bad because it's not really legal...But bit torrent has all the books.

[julieannaClark]

I have Harry Potter on my nook...

[mtazc]

if the barnes and noble ebook store doesn't have a book I want can I download the kindle app for android and buy books from the kindle store?

[mobitureblog]

@mtazc No you can't. Though it technically runs "Android" you there is no Android Market to download apps

[iRajiv]

@mtazc thats a lie. Yes, you can download the Kindle app and run it on this device. Do a Google search for "nook touch kindle app" and look for instructions

[TheSlipKnot981]

@mtazc the bn store has thousands more books than the kindle store. You won'e find that problem.

[snorlax1337]

This supports Epub books no?

Download Harry Potter Epubs (which I just placed onto my iPad). Transfer to device. Profit!

[Char2805Live]

Harry Potter isn't available on any e-reader.

[mobitureblog]

@Char2805Live I was just using it as an example to show off the keyboard

[Char2805Live]

@mobitureblog None of the real books are available. JK Rowling doesn't allow it. If you looked closely you would see that you opened the "Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook." The real books aren't on the Nook or Kindle. Trust me, I work at Barnes & Noble.

[mobitureblog]

@Char2805Live Okay? I never said that Harry Potter was available in ebook format, I was just typing the first thing that came to mind to display the keyboard and search functionality. I knew that the book I opened was not an official Harry Potter book.

[iRajiv]

@Char2805Live theres PDF and ePub versions you can download. I believe someone typed out the entire series. They're not official, but they are out there

[AwesomeThangs]

Hi i have a question. what color is it? its kinda hard to see the colors in the video. it appears to me kinda blue-ish gray. So what color would you say it is?

[mobitureblog]

@AwesomeThangs It's a grayish-black color

[AwesomeThangs]

@mobitureblog  Okie Dokie! thanks!

[stil29]

loved it



[slappy76]

I just went to the local BN to play with it. It doesn't do landscape under any circumstance books, newspapers, pdfs. That seems dumb to not allow that. It showed the whole PDF page like an image and didn't allow me to zoom. So no zoom and drag it like I saw on a demo of the new Kobo. Sounds like something that could be easily changed with a firmware update. Its faster than the previous gen eink ereaders I've played with but there's still a lag. I hope they have larger a DX-sized version.

[MrChatile]

did you have to register it when you turned it on, or could you skip registering?

[mobitureblog]

@MrChatile If I remember correctly you don't HAVE to register it immediately but I went ahead and did it

[MyDoubleJs]

Can you do screen savers like with the 1Gen Nook? 

[mobitureblog]

@MyDoubleJs Yes you can

[CyberAceTV]

Nice video bro.

[mobitureblog]

@CyberAceTV Thanks man

[naskah]

Hey! The Charger and the Connection Cable aways come together right? On B&N website they don't show the itens included...

So it cant read txt? At least does it read any pdf from computer? (without having to buy on store) ?

thx, this is very important to me!

[mobitureblog]

@naskah The USB charging cable and AC adaptor come with the Nook and yes it reads PDFs.

[caty0325]

Does it have a color touch screen?

[mobitureblog]

@caty0325 No it is e-ink

[mobitureblog]

@mavritivsx No unfortunately it does not

[Aftertime1]

Can you edit PDFs on this? Highlight, make notes.... that kind of stuff. Also comparison with Kindle 3 or even an iPad would be nice.

[MyraVonD93]

black n white? its like news paper already lol

, but this is digital news paper lol

[rbm55]

Dittos on the PDF question. Since it doesn't have landscape mode how will it deal with full page size PDF's? Nice video - looking forward to the review.

[slappy76]

Please do a review using full (legal/letter) sized PDFs. Thanks and good job on being the 1st to post a hands on preview!

[RAPPCAT36]

good review,maby if u can do a comparison side by side with the 1st nook or even the kindle

[mobitureblog]

@RAPPCAT36 I don't have a Kindle 3 to compare it do but I can definitely do a comparison with the 1st Nook

[RAPPCAT36]

@mobitureblog a comparison with the nook 1st gen would be great!

[CodOps]
