Barnes&Noble Unveils New E-reader: the 'nook'

[FelixMarshall1]

so what, will this thing read the book to you?

[UpsetJapaneseGuy]

The only thing I'm wondering about is battery life. While it's a nice device with nice added functions, I feel as if the built in MP3-player etc will just take away from battery life. Can't the Kindle do like.. 14,000 pages in 1 battery life?

The "nook" reminds me of the old saying about having a "reading nook". Maybe that's where B & N got the name.LOL

[ourhorridmistake]

I want it!

[wtf56789]

Gay.

[loli6051016]

wait so basically its a electronic device

that lets you read books?

[fields911]

no shit.

[nuvigroovi]

This nook is going to blow kindle away.

[camdaddy09]

why bc it has a stupid touchscreen? its basically the same as the kindle.

[richjasonjones]

Actually its WAY different but you clearly know nothing so OK.

[ponie2kool]

books/textbooks in my room=space hoggers. pdf files of textbooks/books=win

[lizcanoemily]

MY KINDLE IS BETTER

[trackrunner908]

really?

[nickhallen]

Nook looks to support more types of files, Sony Reader does also.

[digitaltempest0837]

I have too many books if you ask my husband (and the fact that I have maxed out all three of my bookshelves and need to buy another). I still want this because I travel quite a bit, and I read quite a bit. and I'm not about to lug around a bag full of books with me. Yes, I do enjoy having hard copies of my books, but I enjoy the convenience of ebooks, too.

[Alicexhollywood]

i would rather have the BOOK than some electronic thing. =|

[Alicexhollywood]

nook? lol.

[forevamore123]

lol i thought it was kinda funny too. it's like 'book' only....nook. like...network book maybe? i don't know. i thought it was nice!

[signboyy]

ebooks will never become popular.

if people put in the time to read a book they like to have a trophy to show off to people. people like to accumlate books like trophys to show how intellectual they are.

[1717now]

Not necessarily true. I have over three hundred PDF Files and the potential to store them in an e-book seems likely.

[signboyy]

most people like to have trophies to illustrate their intellectualism

[Smarty704]

True, but if you are really smart, you don't need a book to prove someone

[signboyy]

even if you are smart you still like to show off your trophies.

[sbhk1]

so it's a touch screen for reading books?

I think an iPhone is better

[nothinnothin3]

The iPhone isnt good for reading books

[Al1823]

yeah
