Tour of the nook's new 1.3 operating system

[TheTruthseekerman]

I love my nook, just wish I could watch videos with it, it will not let me download a flash player.

[TrentonJoynson]

Should I get a nook? I don't really read, but the rest of the features sound pretty cool

[mattvm7]

i love my nook its the best investment ive made in awhile, its so much easier to read and i read way more often its totally worth the money i got the wifi one because i only use the internet when buying books

[kemenyadi]

sec staffers watched porn as economy crashed

[Treazurer]

oh wow i didn't even notice the screeonon top at 1st haha love the simplicity

[erdal0]

its a toy for you not a ebook. You just show ereading function for 5 sec the rest of the video is you playing games and surfing porn sites

[weggingt]

@erdal0 I read it just about every day. I was just showing off the OS changes in this video. The e-reading functionality hadn't changed at all.

[erdal0]

@weggingt yes I regularly use it to look at porn, hold the nook with one hand and with the other hand jacking off.

[1PreciousBarbieQ]

@erdal0 i want to get the nook for my kid..can you search porn on this thing?

[MsDivaOneLuv812]

How well does it do in the sun/outside?

[weggingt]

@MsDivaOneLuv812 Thats the whole point of e-ink.  It does GREAT outside. No reflection. . . you don't have to squint or anything. Nothing like the iPad or iPhone.

I'm thinking of getting a nook. I go to barnes and noble as aften as possible, I love reading, woulod a nook be worth my money? And should I get a 3g one? or just a wifi one?

[weggingt]

@laurenht I'm very happy with mine. If I had to pick between the two I'd go for the one without 3G because I have such abundant access to wi-fi where I live.

[laurenht]

@weggingt with the cheaper wifi one can you still get books anywhere?

[rudeplatypus]

@laurenht I DO agree with weggingt, however I got 3g because I live in a rural area. I don;t have wifi myself either, and all the hotspots around are locked.

[BXVICTOR]

thank u so fucking much. i love u [no homo]. U just made me pick the nook over the kindle

[weggingt]

@BXVICTOR Cool! Glad I could help.  :-)

[iAlexOnline]

Can you only go on the internet through WI-Fi or can you get on the web browser through 3G also ?

[weggingt]

@iAlexOnline You can only get to the internet through WI-Fi. The new $150 nook is awesome. 3G isn't really anything I ever use.

[PieRules246]

I luv my nook! And all theese features! go nook!

[xplics]

The Nook is really cool just got one and put a bunch of PDFs on it. Looks great.

[MagnaCartaHG]

yeah SEC

[conceitedperson78]

Happy Birthday!!!

I'm buying the Nook this weekend.

I was considering getting a kindle, but not anymore by a long shot!!!

[weggingt]

@conceitedperson78 Sweet! :-)

[twitbit23]

@conceitedperson78 I DID THE SAME THING

[spguthman]

Thanks for the video. Very helpful. I believe the reason the page turning via swipe didn't work for you is that you have to wait until the touch screen goes dark before you can use that feature.

[weggingt]

@spguthman Yup. I knew that but. . . for some reason it stumped me while I was recording. (duh)

[qcstevie]

Thank you! You showed me everything that I was looking for in the review. I don't have a Nook yet. But after this review, I'm definitely thinking to get one or to recommend the Nook to other people. The firmware 1.3 is definitely a big improvement. It's so much snappier!

[weggingt]

@qcstevie It is a lot snappier. Always a plus. :-) I hope/wish they would make more apps and refinements. Especially with organizing, making notes etc. But this is a very cool update. I love my nook. :-)

[Tikmondo]

great video. can you go over the pdf capabilities for the new firmware?

[weggingt]

@Tikmondo I'm probably not the best person to review that. The few I did try didn't work very well and I'm not sure why. I think they were just too stinking big. I just use a program called Calibre to convert stuff I want to read into the more supported epub format.

[tirofiban]

Thanks for posting this! Very informative!

[colinw92]

Very cool! Thanks for the video. It's my birthday too! Did you get the download from nookTalk before it went password protected? I can't seem to find a link on Barnes & Noble's website.

Thanks again!

[weggingt]

@colinw92 Yea I got it off a friend who got it before they locked things up. But its available now from what I can tell. So I only got it a tiny bit early compared to the rest of the world. :-)
