The thing that is better about real paper books is, you can keep them forever, loan them to others and when you don't want them any more you can give away, sell them, donate, or recycle them. But the best thing: No batteries to worry about, ever.
The Nook came with some preloaded books. There is also a free section at the bn site. If you shop the book section on the barnes and noble site you can get an idea of what they cost. Another huge advantage to an e reader is the space it saves. You can keep thousands of books in one little device.
@oOMusicFishOo ebooks are cheaper than paper books (only by a small percent, usually, thought) but the prices are rising. some pros would be that you could store your whole library in a light weight 'reader'. it is also easier and faster to read books because you can purchase/download any book (in the barnes and noble collection) you wanted to in about a minute. some cons would be the starting price would be about $125 and-if you damage your nook, poof, all your books are gone. (unless you
@oOMusicFishOo back them up on your computer). another con would be (for some people) that it still doesn't have that 'natural' book feel where you can turn the pages and be...papery...and stuff. lol. i would go into more detail but the character limit is annoying me xD
After doing tons of research, and trying out both the Nook and Kindle, I have sided with the Nook. The technology is superior, and it doesn't break as easy, I can't wait to buy it!
@thebest852 the nook is worth buyimg it has a great battery life it looks like a book you can download more than 1500 books and also you can buy cool upgrades for it
Hey, so I live in Bermuda, but I want a nook, I have an American adress and American credit card, will i able to buy books in Bermuda with my adress and card?
a question i have is, do they have a free book page where every week one day a week they have books that are for free, kinda like itunes with their free song every tuesday?
@MultiOliver5 The nook is pretty nice, one downside is the battery life. I get 2-4 days tops when reading every day. Kindle lasts a few weeks or something.
Have you tried the Pandigital Novel? It runs on Android, full color LCD running on the B&N network for downloading books, and many other options. I recommend checking it out.
Im surprised how shit these ebook readers are, you would never image you would have performance problems with an ebook reader ontop of that they are all ugly and then to boot they cant get the interface right for the simple task of reading..............
Thank you for a wonderful job at explaining the various features on the Nook. I just purchased a Nook and I am trying to negotiate around all the different functions. Your video presentation has helped me very much. Thank you.
Thanks. This answered so many questions. It would have taken me a long time to stumble on the dictionary feature. Now on my second day of owning the nook i can fully enjoy it.
I love my Nook. My only complaints are the battery life and the page turn button location. I get about 3-5 days battery life reading everyday, usually about an 1 1/2 hours. I've heard the Kindle last much longer, up to a week. For the page turn buttons- I find my thumb naturally rests on the page back button, holding it so it rest on the page forward button is uncomfortable.
Vizplex makes the displays for at least the Nook and the Kindle, and some of the other e-readers out there, so they pretty much have the same display. Sony's touch display is diffrent b/c it's a touch screen itself, but I've looked at it and the contrast is lower = not as pleasant reading experience.
a small question, I have a few ebook that i bought from Amazon, it work fine w the kindle but am juz wondering is there away to put it on the Nook? or other devices?
@alastiar72 No, and that is also a flaw of the kindle. Once you order an ebook from the kindle store you can only read it on your kindle. no tansporting it to your desktop, or phone, or other e-readers. Hopefully, that answered your question.
@alastiar72 No, and that is one of the flaws of the kindle. You see, once you order an ebook onto your kindle from the kindle store you can only read it on your kindle. No transporting it to your desktop, or phone, or another e-reader you may have and you can't lend a book to a friend for two weeks, for free with the kindle, but you can with the nook. Hopefully that answered your question.
@twinprinces From my personal preferance, i believe the nook is better. More reasonably priced, more features, web browser, games, and many many more.
I work at Barnes and Noble and sadly, don't make enough money to buy one. However I am required to sell them. And thus we are tested to see if we are competent to buy a device we can't even afford to buy. But I thank you for this fantastic and very indepth review. Thanks to you I will pass the test and keep my job...still won't be able to afford a nook. But at least I'll still be employed. Thanks!
@Kviveka Yours is probably the most poignant comment of all. I think you should make a video review that points out how Barnes and Noble employees don't earn enough to buy a Nook reader. This reminds me of the people who harvest chocolate in third world countries in poor conditions for almost no wages and have never tasted a bar of chocolate in their lives. Scandalous, really. You can get more info on that in the BBC report: 'Chocolate The Bitter Truth' on YouTube.
The contact feature is for the Lend feature, it allows you to send a book to whomever has a nook, iPhone/iPod Touch, it will send the book to them and they can keep it for 14 days, I haven't used it yet so I don't know if it sends the other user a copy of the book, or your book. Nice review, I can't wait to get my Nook, I've used the Kindle and I wasn't very fond of how long it took for the screen to refresh, the Nook looks faster.
yea the nook is compatible with over 100 devices. so if u have itunes on a pc or mac it will work with it. You can also sync your ebooks to itunes and download them on ur ipod, itouch, iphone, etc. if the cds are in itunes or anywhere else you can put them in2. it also can hold pictures.
The flicker between pages is god awful and irritating. Who designed these things? Some 2 bit drop out from industrial design and programing school. I think it is a mess.
I'm not an applefan boy but man give me the max-ipad to read over these two any day.
On second thought, I'd just rather buy a real paper book.
ummm hello the nook didnt make that many and it sold alot so yeah i ordered mine in december and they got so many orders that i wont get mine till feb 18
Part of the benefit of eink is that it uses very little power; it will last 10 of thousands of page turns. Add an LCD display, 3g, wifi and you throw that benefit out the window.
@Billya1986 no it can not read to you like a kindle but it has many morer features then the kindle. When you think abouyt it, every piece of hardware or softwar has it's pros and cons. Hopefully this answered your question.
@prettigirl99 funny how you don't name these imaginary features, you won't mention them because the only thing the nook has is a useless one inch touchscreen that eats up battery life
This fight's useless but on B&N's part they made amazon realize they aren't the only ones in the game anymore. PDF support, mobile and pc ebook reader app were just two things that B&N started that amazon had to copy. As far as the amount sold, kindle has been the only real device besides sony's, so of course it would sell more, just give it time. Just leave it to a persons preference will ya? I admit it here and now the amazon kindle is better over all but I still want a nook over the kindle.
Thanks! Was trying to figure out how to use the dictionary. Can one add to the dictionary if one is purchased at the BN store? Great reader but limited selection of sciFi
ya the nook is better with display, it doesnt hurt your eyes at all and its clear and u can change the font to be darker if you wish(i did and it took like 2 seconds) and the enitre font of the book was changed for the better.
lmao hahahahah ya like i said b4 whos product has been sold out since it arrived and it still getting pushed back cuz of all the orders they get cuz ppl keep demanding the nook..and the kindle is okay i guess but it hasnt sold out i think even once and its in stock so..??? idk i think that proves that the B&N has the better product
shut up i said compared to the nook, ya sure it was fricken sold out cuz there was nothing to really have any competition with it besides shit from sony for the two years it was out and yes i know how long its been out cuz i researched both and watched videos on both b4 i made my choice.. and there was a lot more complaints of the both versions of the kindle and of course if B&N hadnt stepped into the market of ebook readers i wouldve bought the kindle too so shove off duche
i only do when people get me P.O'd okay, you dont know me so forgive me if i get a little aggitated when people who dont even know what i look like call me a moron for my own opinion, anything i said to you or as in reference i said as my own opinion and i never said i KNEW anything i said i THINK, and if the nooks are crap why are they still sold out until February at the least? sure the kindle has kol features, i never said it didnt i said i think the nook is better, its my opinion get over it
no, do you? like i said i get like that when i get pissed off, grow up everyone talks like that these days, its not "that" uncommon besides im not like that all the time matter of fact most of the time im not, only when i see or hear stupid things coming from ignorant asswholes
@johnmonk66 They sold more kindles because the nook just came out :/ They have to be ordered in advance because they're in demand, they can't really sell any more than they are at a time.
@TheBlakeful1 you are an idiot too, kindle outsold the nook 12 to 1 moron, in fact the number one electronic device sold on black friday and cyber monday was the kindle.
now go have sex with your kindle clone because you obviously love it
Asshole, the Nook manufactors didn't make alot, they wanted to see if it would be something people would buy, so now there making more and more, and i dont give a shit what they sold in December!
I bet you a million dollars that the Nook is going to sell waaaaay more then Kindle, in the next few years!
i will take that bet, and your comment, which i copy and pasted, is legal proof of the bet. i can't wait untill next year when i collect my million dollars
I can not understand why you got this instead of the kindle.
You can check you email on the kindle.
You can surf the web.
It will read the book to you.
You can email yourself a file and it goes to the kindle.
I wrote a book and emailed it to myself, 235 pages, now it is on my kindle, all for free, and the kindle will read my book to me. Too awesome for words, but the nook does none of this
better display? No, the kindle and the nook have the exact same display, it is the old sony reader that uses the 8 scale grey screen. Who ever told you the nook has a better display is ill informed.
Same specs and technology, yes. But the nook and 505 have a whiter background and bolder fonts that make ebooks look better. No one told me this, I have compared all myself.
ya i know i said the same thing but the people at barnes and nobles aparently think the B&N's e-ink display is better(idk if thats totally true)but u know how ppl like to think their product is better hahaha well the B&N keeps selling out and is still sold out so what does that tell u about which product is better? also i think how nooks navigation is set up, it a lot better than the kindles, the kiddle looks a lil bit more complicated and the nook has the color touch screen so its simplier
@prnces858 the kindle is two years old moron, and it was the number one selling electronic device on earth in 2009, so stick your nook clone where the sun dont shine
yeah, why is it such a secret to see something that was a pdf on the nook? plus i dont know why there is only like 4 videos reviewing the nook. This is the best review.....only think is i wish somebody would show a pdf.
Wonderful review! I got the answer to my question about using a dictionary. I have a Cybook Gen3 love it BUT choosing a word to look up takes a lot of time and effort. A SUGGESTION TO NOOK ENGINEERS (or 3rd party developers). Touchscreen to type in the word one wants to look up, the definition can be shown on the LCD screen (because of the speed to scroll) and colors can be used in the definition too. Pronounciation can be heard from the speakers also. So hopefully we'll have this feature.
Great job with showing its basic features. I ordered one for my wife for X-mas, and I'm sure she'll be thrilled with it. I'm sure that the Android system will allow great improvements on the Nook over time. It looks like a superb ebook reader. One can, inexpensively, get pdf CDs on eBay with multiple ebooks on each... and these are functional in the Nook, wherein one can alter the font sizes, etc. The touch screen looks very futuristic! It is very nice indeed!
Thanks for this indepth walk thru. I actually have an ereader, which is Astak EZ Reader Pocket Pro, I bought it bec I saw your reveiw of it too. Now, Nook looks very sweet gadget/ereader. I was actually torn with Nook, PRS300 and Astak Pocket Pro. Since Nook can read books other than books you bought in B&N, that is nice. I think I'll buy one, once they'll have a stock available. ;)
The thing that is better about real paper books is, you can keep them forever, loan them to others and when you don't want them any more you can give away, sell them, donate, or recycle them. But the best thing: No batteries to worry about, ever.

ya the nook is better with display, it doesnt hurt your eyes at all and its clear and u can change the font to be darker if you wish(i did and it took like 2 seconds) and the enitre font of the book was changed for the better.

do you need a sim card ?
mandypooh098 2 years ago
No, a SIM card is already in the nook. You can use it with AT&T or else use the integrated WiFi radio to connect.

Since you have a nook and a kindle, which do you recommend? Does the nook have less glare than the kindle?
willard1300h 2 years ago
I find the nook eInk display to be better with bolder fonts and better background for more contrast. I can read my nook in very low light too.
palmsolo 2 years ago
This comment has received too many negative votes show
@palmsolo not true, please don't spread lies about the product, the contrast can be set on the kindle too
johnmonk66 2 years ago
I have compared both side-by-side and the nook and 505 display do look better than Kindle 2. Even Kindle 1 display is better than Kindle 2
palmsolo 2 years ago 6
@palmsolo Which Kindle 2 did you compare it with? The international wireless or the US wireless?
The display on the Kindle 2 international was changed slightly and has better contrast than the older Kindle 2.

lmao hahahahah ya like i said b4 whos product has been sold out since it arrived and it still getting pushed back cuz of all the orders they get cuz ppl keep demanding the nook..and the kindle is okay i guess but it hasnt sold out i think even once and its in stock so..??? idk i think that proves that the B&N has the better product
prnces858 2 years ago
@prnces858 you retarded? the kindle was sold out for the first year it was sold too
johnmonk66 2 years ago
shut up i said compared to the nook, ya sure it was fricken sold out cuz there was nothing to really have any competition with it besides shit from sony for the two years it was out and yes i know how long its been out cuz i researched both and watched videos on both b4 i made my choice.. and there was a lot more complaints of the both versions of the kindle and of course if B&N hadnt stepped into the market of ebook readers i wouldve bought the kindle too so shove off duche

prnces858 2 years ago
@johnmonk66 They sold more kindles because the nook just came out :/ They have to be ordered in advance because they're in demand, they can't really sell any more than they are at a time.

johnmonk66 2 years ago
Ummmm...no you the idiot stupid ass!
The Nook has been SOLD OUT since it came out!
Thats why they can give them to you right away!
If you order one now, you wont get it till Feburary!
And, lets see, if you buy a Kindle, you will probably get it within the next week!
So shut the fuck up with your talking shit about the Nook!

I can not understand why you got this instead of the kindle.
You can check you email on the kindle.
You can surf the web.
It will read the book to you.
You can email yourself a file and it goes to the kindle.
I wrote a book and emailed it to myself, 235 pages, now it is on my kindle, all for free, and the kindle will read my book to me. Too awesome for words, but the nook does none of this
johnmonk66 2 years ago
dosn't the email download cost 10 cents or something?

johnmonk66 2 years ago
I wanted the best reader for reading ebooks and could care less about surfing or email. That is what a smartphone is for.
The nook has a better eInk display than the Kindle so that is important to me and my reading.

@palmsolo
better display? No, the kindle and the nook have the exact same display, it is the old sony reader that uses the 8 scale grey screen. Who ever told you the nook has a better display is ill informed.
johnmonk66 2 years ago
Same specs and technology, yes. But the nook and 505 have a whiter background and bolder fonts that make ebooks look better. No one told me this, I have compared all myself.

@palmsolo love the review, i am wondering how do you feel about the product now? i am looking to buy one soon
UGLHarr1son 1 year ago
ya i know i said the same thing but the people at barnes and nobles aparently think the B&N's e-ink display is better(idk if thats totally true)but u know how ppl like to think their product is better hahaha well the B&N keeps selling out and is still sold out so what does that tell u about which product is better? also i think how nooks navigation is set up, it a lot better than the kindles, the kiddle looks a lil bit more complicated and the nook has the color touch screen so its simplier
prnces858 2 years ago
@prnces858 the kindle is two years old moron, and it was the number one selling electronic device on earth in 2009, so stick your nook clone where the sun dont shine

Wonderful review! I got the answer to my question about using a dictionary. I have a Cybook Gen3 love it BUT choosing a word to look up takes a lot of time and effort. A SUGGESTION TO NOOK ENGINEERS (or 3rd party developers). Touchscreen to type in the word one wants to look up, the definition can be shown on the LCD screen (because of the speed to scroll) and colors can be used in the definition too. Pronounciation can be heard from the speakers also. So hopefully we'll have this feature.
MrArmenchik05 2 years ago
Great job with showing its basic features. I ordered one for my wife for X-mas, and I'm sure she'll be thrilled with it. I'm sure that the Android system will allow great improvements on the Nook over time. It looks like a superb ebook reader. One can, inexpensively, get pdf CDs on eBay with multiple ebooks on each... and these are functional in the Nook, wherein one can alter the font sizes, etc. The touch screen looks very futuristic! It is very nice indeed!

Thanks for this indepth walk thru. I actually have an ereader, which is Astak EZ Reader Pocket Pro, I bought it bec I saw your reveiw of it too. Now, Nook looks very sweet gadget/ereader. I was actually torn with Nook, PRS300 and Astak Pocket Pro. Since Nook can read books other than books you bought in B&N, that is nice. I think I'll buy one, once they'll have a stock available. ;)
