Tour of the nook's new 1.3 operating system

I managed to get hold of the new operating system for the Barns and Noble e-book reader "nook" and thought I'd share a quick tour of what I found to be new, different, un-changed and in some cases removed. I haven't spent a whole lot of time with it yet but overall I'm very happy with it. Especially the new web browser.

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

@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.

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.

[erdal0]

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

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

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

[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.
