I want a nook. I'll be reading manga and yoi manga on it. which from fans i hear is still good to read on there. i was kinda relucktant to get a e-reader but it will be easier to get stories I wan to read along with also easier access to facebook and twitter :D
U sound like a robot! I love the nook simple touch cuz the was it feels, e ink, pic, and it's just made 4 reading!!! I pod touch is for games not nooks!!! Don't buy this u r wasting your time, GET THE SIMPLE TOUTCH!!!
THE NOOK COLOR HAS AN APP STORE. but if you got one when they ust came out then you cann bring it to barnes and noble and ask them to upgrade it for you. BUT THEY DO HAVE ONE. i have a nook color and i have like 17 games. Like angry birds and lot of other awesome apps!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought these things were for reading! And, wasn't the big deal about the first one that it DIDN"T have a backlight, so people could read for hours? Oh well. I have the first nook and the kindle 3. Love both, but I would've gotten the kindle first.
@KJcheer I believe it does have an app store, and also has other features besides reading. Reading is the main purpose though, so if it isn't "fun" why get this device? There are plenty of devices that have apps and games. Besides, the Nook can be rooted to have Android Honeycomb, and can have access to have apps from the Android Market. :)
@Aislan4414 battery life is around 8 hours so nothing you are going to get with a kindle or the new nook simple touch but for all that it does i guess its fair....
WARNING : Do not hook this up to your computer it down loud programs that crash your compter. Barnes & Noble has programs that lock onto your computer to get informatiion about you.
@Ozxvideoz No problem here. I am just trying to help people. You sound like you are part of this organized crime group. If you are please think of all the families you distroy just to make a dollar.
@Ozxvideoz Ok, I am sorry. Please call your goons off, I can not live like this. I am always looking out my window because I a, so afriad, I have my girlfriend go out and start my car for me incase it explodes.
you should of said that you rather just have an e-reader than an e-reader/tablet the nook color isn't for a long time of reading i think its more of a little time of reading and multimedia entertainment i understand what you are coming from though and i fully agree but you could of reworded your comment a little bit to let people understand your opinion on the nook color.
@aa70queen01 not really apple has copied android(what the nook color runs) in many ways for example ios5 is going to have notifications which android has had ever sense release that is just one example there are many please do research and make sure you know what you are talking about. Nook is in no way a wannabe ipad it is a cheap alternative tablet/e-reader that is simple to use and has functions of a tablet such as flash and apps. if you read this at all congratulations you got owned no ofnse
@Decklann yes they very much are available many magazines are i dont know about comics tho but if it was in a pdf you could do that but for the price af the nook color it is a great deal!
@Ozxvideoz look at the side by side comparisons of the nook and kindle, obviously the kindle is better at everything, i understand the company wanting to tap into the e reader market with their own device but the nook just isn't comparable to the kindle, in fat no e reader can compare to the kindle. But again this is just my 2 cents.
anyone who believes this device is only meant for reading is missing the entire point of the tablet revolution. And it is a revolution, one that has basically killed the need for a netbook and led to over 11 million iPads sold last year. B&N built this on top of a tablet OS for a reason, even if they're being coy about why right now.
@MrPhipper eink is much much easier on the eyes for serious readers - this is just another gadget that detracts from its purpose. If you want an ipad go buy one, this is for reading. Call it vivid or whatever tis lcd and it fucking hurts to read after a while, stick with your original e-ink nook if your serious about reading.
@uwmbigb Whatever grandpa, if it hurts to read a back-lit screen you're too old. Or you're holding the damn thing too close to your face. Besides, it never hurts to have multi-tasking functions (you call them distractions) to keep up with the competition. The new Android tablets cost less and still do what the Nook and Kindle can do. They just provide more intelligent choices for discerning persons. There isn't anything wrong with having options. Unless you're a Commie....
@MrPhipper a normal nook is probably better. This looks like a backlit LCD screen which is killer on the eyes. eInk is much much better for reading text and/or for long periods. The iPad is better for this kind of reading (magazines, cookbooks, etc.) but the eReader/Kindle/whatever eInk reader is better for actually reading books.
Eink is rad, but it can't do color. LCD has never bothered my vision, once your 'in' the book you don't even know the difference anyway. Seems like a win to me.
i agree! I just got one for christmas, and wasnt expecting it. I love books, and at first didnt like it because i thought the screen would bother me. but after downloading my first book, i realized that it wasnt a problem at all and i dont even notice it :)
Some people just don't get it...e-readers are NOT computers...they're meant to be "read", the iPad bothers your vision if you read for too long, that's what's cool about these gadgets...the iPad is just a slim version of a laptop!!!
@TheVentusVanitas YES! I don't want to do anything on an eReader but read (and purchase books). Period. No games, apps, mp3's, even internet. I just want a good way to read and purchase more books on demand.
@TheVentusVanitas So, in your opinion, doing a crossword puzzle is out of the question? Or maybe a word search game too? I'm annoyed with people who think technology should be limited to single tasks. Multi-tasking is better. Limited functions (simple reading) usually means these kinds of devices will fail and wind up in the bargain bins since the majority of cheap Android tablets provide additional functions at a competitive price -- eventually making the Nook & other eReaders obsolete.
@TheVentusVanitas it's getting an android update I've heard. So it will still most likely be a proprietary book reader, but will still come with all the glory android marketplace has to offer. Plus, because it has the processor that the droid x has, it will be able to run just as good. I mean the interface already is pretty great, so I'm not complaining whether or not it gets the aforementioned update.
@TheVentusVanitas The hardware is totally capable to do this, then why not? Apps are very useful like a dictionary or wiki app. Its not designed just for reading, if so, why use a ARM Cortex A8-based TI OMAP3621 processor?
@TheVentusVanitas dude if its going to have wifi and color than wtf y not have apps i can get a book basicly any wher now if ur going to charge almost 300 y the hell would i pay that money when i can get the same thing for a 100 with out color come on man use ur head
@gospelnews123 Yep, the iPad is just a slim version of a laptop....minus USB ports, HDMI ports, a disc drive, a real Operating system, significant storage, noticeable RAM, program installation, flash in web browser, etc. Other than that it's just a regular laptop!...Minus everything that makes a laptop....a laptop.
@zachj589 Or HDMI ports, or a real operating system, or a disc drive, or a fair amount of storage, or flash support, or enough RAM, or being able to install programs. Lol. The iPad is a FAT, overweight, smart-phone.
@mytuberaibman ...ipad can't be purchased for $250....there you go. Also, root this nook color and you've got a perfectly good android tablet that will do most of what iPad can do. Seems like this this "reader" is more than you thought it was.
@mytuberaibman First of all, your grammar is atrocious. Second, there are various reasons that Nook beats the iPad: Nook is $250 (I'm guessing your iPad was a little more), Nook is actually designed as an eReader (there are some programs for free books from libraries that are not fully-compatible with the iPad, not so with Nook), and most importantly, you don't have to be a pretentious snob to everyone who does not own a Nook, but it comes with the territory for iPad owners.
Well, I really like this!! ;D But for iPad, i really wanted to buy one, but when i saw it, i realized it was just like the iPod, JUST LIKE THA iPOD, but's smaller. So after then, i dint get excited, but i got excited ABOUT THA Nook! LOL
The ipad is disapointing not the nook color. And I'm not saying the ipad is bad. If you want a smaller ipad like reader the nook color is great. The decay of all elecectronics is so fast these days, there is always something better and newer coming out. So to say there is going to be a eink color dispay and this will hurt the nook color is just dumb. BN and will obviously have a new nook coming out one day too
This looks like a quick stab at the tech mom/kid market for the holidays. Its not a bad move at all but I still think they couldve done something more innovative. If the rumors of mirasol/color ink are true for 2011, this could be a disaster as B/N will have no answer unless they undermine their nookcolor and piss people off.
I am a 7th grade middle school student. I was wondering if i would be able to download textbooks on to my nook color I am getting for Christmas. Please reply it would be extremely helpful.
@SilentNinja1010 I'm not sure if you would be able to download textbooks but since it has wifi and most school textbooks have a site where you can read them online I'm sure you could get them that way.
@SilentNinja1010 also if you go to the barnes and nobles website mouse over textbooks and theres a section that says nookstufy I'm sure somewhere under there you might be able to find out the info you looking for.
Well, it looks cool. But I just can't help but think that it's getting away from the whole 'e-reader' market, and stepping into the territory of tablets. Thus, I don't think it will do very well. People will find that if they just spend a little more money they can get a real tablet computer with more features. E-ink was the Kindle's and Nook's claim to fame because it's easier to read on than an LCD screen. Now it doesn't have one, it's just a cheap Galaxy Tab with less features.
Wasn't there supposed to be the first Devices with the Mirasol Displays by Qualcomm to be available by the end of this Year? They're bistable like eInk Panels, but in Color and fast enough to display Videos and all with the Contrast/Readability of current eReaders. Is there going to be a future nook with such a kind of Display?
I got some money for my birthday yesterday, (thank you, thank you, I'm 13 ^_^) and I wanted to get one of these VERY badly for awhile. I went to Best buy and played around with one- going on the barnes and noble store on it and looking for Harry Potter. Sadly, I did not find any of th Harry Potter books- only stupid ones such as Harry Potter- Global Business Phenomenon
If you have a nookcolor, I would gladly appreciate it if you looked up Harry Potter on it and tell me if its there or not.
@Ghostpelt101 I just looked it up for you. Unfortunately -- it doesn't have Harry Potter! I can't believe it. I was actually all for this, but if it doesn't sell a popular book like Harry Potter, what other books do they not sell???
It's not very cost effective for me to buy one if I find out a lot of the kinds of books I buy (I read a lot of reference books on photography, graphic design, web design, etc...) aren't offered as ebooks.... Very upsetting...
@rachelfphotos Just to clarify, The Harry Potter series is not available from the Barnes & Noble ebook store because the publisher has not released the rights for them to made into an ebooks. So you will not find them at B&N, Amazon or any other mainstream ebook retailer . The only way I've seen them available are as torrent PDFs. It appears that Rowling is pulling a "Lucas" and not releasing her works until she and her publisher have further evaluated the ebook format.
@rachelfphotos JK Rowling i believe is not into this "eink" revolution and doesn't want her books to be ebooks because she's a big paper bookist. At least thats what i heard.
@rachelfphotos Thanks for looking it up for me! :) I got a nookcolor on Wednesday and I'm learning to live without my Harry Potter Books on ebook format- I'll just get the whole paperback set for Christmas- then just watch, they'll be ebooks 2 days later o3o. I was a bit disappointed to find that some of the books I enjoy weren't on there, then again- they're always coming out with cool new ones.
@Ghostpelt101 Just buy the book set and download the ebook as a torrent - they are out there! That way you support the author and you can read them on your nook!
I got my nook color yesterday and it is pretty good. The battery life seems ipad comparable! I did heavy web browsing, video and music playback just about 4 + hours and it is still at 70 % battery. So I think reading on low brightness will last at least 8 hours and more.
The nook beats the kindle hands down. I think it should not even be mentioned with the kindle. It is like an ipad without the app store (not yet but coming).
The build quality is impressive for 250$. I got it for newspapers.
sooo happy right now! i almost bought the sony reader 950 on Sunday! thank goodness it was sold out! i went to B&N to check out the nook color and was so impressed ! i still have a few questions about its note taking and wifi options though, im going back tomorrow!
looks great for kids. ipad is bad for kids. they'll just watch crappy tv or movies. this is at least kids' books friendly, but for adults, i'll have to wait and see.
We need text to speech & Flash plug in and it would kill the Kindle and the Ipad!! Even if it would be just on newspapers or classics! Well at least it runs with android!
I bought the old nook for newspapers and stuff and it is a pain! The Nook Color is probably better for that but bad for books!

@gospelnews123 Yep, the iPad is just a slim version of a laptop....minus USB ports, HDMI ports, a disc drive, a real Operating system, significant storage, noticeable RAM, program installation, flash in web browser, etc. Other than that it's just a regular laptop!...Minus everything that makes a laptop....a laptop.

@newbalancerun04 Either that, or the smart man's iPad.
Anyone who would pay $500 and up for a device without USB ports and SD slots either has too much money, or too little brains.
zachj589 1 year ago
@zachj589 Or HDMI ports, or a real operating system, or a disc drive, or a fair amount of storage, or flash support, or enough RAM, or being able to install programs. Lol. The iPad is a FAT, overweight, smart-phone.

how is it not just a tablet
pjmac88 1 year ago
I did lots of research ... and checked so many eReader in stores such as Kindle , Kindle DX, Sony ones, and other brands ....
This one is the best specially for those who want to read PDF formats. Reading PDF on Kindle and Sony is a pain in the neck but Nook Color is amazing.

@mytuberaibman ...ipad can't be purchased for $250....there you go. Also, root this nook color and you've got a perfectly good android tablet that will do most of what iPad can do. Seems like this this "reader" is more than you thought it was.

@mytuberaibman you cant put in a 32gb sd card in your ipad, you pay 100 extra bucks
GuyFromNebraska 1 year ago
@mytuberaibman First of all, your grammar is atrocious. Second, there are various reasons that Nook beats the iPad: Nook is $250 (I'm guessing your iPad was a little more), Nook is actually designed as an eReader (there are some programs for free books from libraries that are not fully-compatible with the iPad, not so with Nook), and most importantly, you don't have to be a pretentious snob to everyone who does not own a Nook, but it comes with the territory for iPad owners.

Well, I really like this!! ;D But for iPad, i really wanted to buy one, but when i saw it, i realized it was just like the iPod, JUST LIKE THA iPOD, but's smaller. So after then, i dint get excited, but i got excited ABOUT THA Nook! LOL

The ipad is disapointing not the nook color. And I'm not saying the ipad is bad. If you want a smaller ipad like reader the nook color is great. The decay of all elecectronics is so fast these days, there is always something better and newer coming out. So to say there is going to be a eink color dispay and this will hurt the nook color is just dumb. BN and will obviously have a new nook coming out one day too

This looks like a quick stab at the tech mom/kid market for the holidays. Its not a bad move at all but I still think they couldve done something more innovative. If the rumors of mirasol/color ink are true for 2011, this could be a disaster as B/N will have no answer unless they undermine their nookcolor and piss people off.

I am a 7th grade middle school student. I was wondering if i would be able to download textbooks on to my nook color I am getting for Christmas. Please reply it would be extremely helpful.
SilentNinja1010 1 year ago
@SilentNinja1010 I'm not sure if you would be able to download textbooks but since it has wifi and most school textbooks have a site where you can read them online I'm sure you could get them that way.

@SilentNinja1010 also if you go to the barnes and nobles website mouse over textbooks and theres a section that says nookstufy I'm sure somewhere under there you might be able to find out the info you looking for.

Well, it looks cool. But I just can't help but think that it's getting away from the whole 'e-reader' market, and stepping into the territory of tablets. Thus, I don't think it will do very well. People will find that if they just spend a little more money they can get a real tablet computer with more features. E-ink was the Kindle's and Nook's claim to fame because it's easier to read on than an LCD screen. Now it doesn't have one, it's just a cheap Galaxy Tab with less features.

Wasn't there supposed to be the first Devices with the Mirasol Displays by Qualcomm to be available by the end of this Year? They're bistable like eInk Panels, but in Color and fast enough to display Videos and all with the Contrast/Readability of current eReaders. Is there going to be a future nook with such a kind of Display?

I got some money for my birthday yesterday, (thank you, thank you, I'm 13 ^_^) and I wanted to get one of these VERY badly for awhile. I went to Best buy and played around with one- going on the barnes and noble store on it and looking for Harry Potter. Sadly, I did not find any of th Harry Potter books- only stupid ones such as Harry Potter- Global Business Phenomenon
If you have a nookcolor, I would gladly appreciate it if you looked up Harry Potter on it and tell me if its there or not.
Ghostpelt101 1 year ago
@Ghostpelt101 I just looked it up for you. Unfortunately -- it doesn't have Harry Potter! I can't believe it. I was actually all for this, but if it doesn't sell a popular book like Harry Potter, what other books do they not sell???
It's not very cost effective for me to buy one if I find out a lot of the kinds of books I buy (I read a lot of reference books on photography, graphic design, web design, etc...) aren't offered as ebooks.... Very upsetting...
rachelfphotos 1 year ago
@rachelfphotos Just to clarify, The Harry Potter series is not available from the Barnes & Noble ebook store because the publisher has not released the rights for them to made into an ebooks. So you will not find them at B&N, Amazon or any other mainstream ebook retailer . The only way I've seen them available are as torrent PDFs. It appears that Rowling is pulling a "Lucas" and not releasing her works until she and her publisher have further evaluated the ebook format.

@rachelfphotos JK Rowling i believe is not into this "eink" revolution and doesn't want her books to be ebooks because she's a big paper bookist. At least thats what i heard.

@rachelfphotos Thanks for looking it up for me! :) I got a nookcolor on Wednesday and I'm learning to live without my Harry Potter Books on ebook format- I'll just get the whole paperback set for Christmas- then just watch, they'll be ebooks 2 days later o3o. I was a bit disappointed to find that some of the books I enjoy weren't on there, then again- they're always coming out with cool new ones.
Ghostpelt101 1 year ago
@Ghostpelt101 Just buy the book set and download the ebook as a torrent - they are out there! That way you support the author and you can read them on your nook!

I got my nook color yesterday and it is pretty good. The battery life seems ipad comparable! I did heavy web browsing, video and music playback just about 4 + hours and it is still at 70 % battery. So I think reading on low brightness will last at least 8 hours and more.
The nook beats the kindle hands down. I think it should not even be mentioned with the kindle. It is like an ipad without the app store (not yet but coming).
The build quality is impressive for 250$. I got it for newspapers.

sooo happy right now! i almost bought the sony reader 950 on Sunday! thank goodness it was sold out! i went to B&N to check out the nook color and was so impressed ! i still have a few questions about its note taking and wifi options though, im going back tomorrow!
