Let's quickly present the Barnes and Noble Nook Wi-Fi for you. At just $149 this product sports the 6 inch E Ink display and a color Liquid crystal display. It features a 1.3 GB internal memory compared to the current 1 GB average among the other eReaders nevertheless its memory is expandable so no worries there. It weighs a bit more compared to other devices at 11.6 oz, most of the competition tend to be way below that at 9 or 8 oz.
There is also a more expensive model costing $199, which adds 3G to the mix. Instantly you can already begin to appreciate that for that price the device is pretty good value for money. Visually the Nook originally is a mixture of two colors, battleship-gray and off-white however if that does not float your boat then you may change it via different tinted backs for people who choose more color in their life. Among Nook's trademark characteristics is a set of two screens: one is the basic E Ink display screen and the other the LCD color touch display that is Android-powered.
Like the Kindle, the Nook is a system rather than simply a device, capable of easily browsing and making one-click acquisitions and downloads through Barnes & Noble's enormous store of electronic books, newspapers and journals. What's more, the Nook's Wi-Fi connects automatically to allow you to read free excerpts from just about any ebook while you are drinking a cappucino at your favorite B&N store. You can also lend or perhaps borrow books free of charge, for up to 14 days.
Depending upon the book you're perusing, the Nook can show text in around 16 different languages. For travelers, the Nook has an airplane mode that allows you to de-activate 3G and Wi-Fi while traveling by air, so they won't affect navigation instruments. The readability factor of the Nook goes over and above other products with 16 diverse shades of grey, 3 varieties of fonts and 5 assorted sizes. If you do the statistics there it would be a lot of combinations. I'm sure you'll find one that's best match to suit your needs. Also another cool way to personalize the device is by installing virtually any image by means of USB and assign it as your screensaver.
For the downside, it's a bit slow when it powers up and unlike some other ereaders you can't rotate the written text...which is ok I suppose since a regular publication does not do that however it's odd they omitted this option. Web browsing is also quite slow. The touch screen can also be a mite difficult so if you plan to make use of the virtual keyboard you may find it frustrating. What some people love, because other eBook retailers don't allow it, is you can loan or be lent ebooks with others who own a Nook. Sadly it's a one-time offer so keep this for your current bestest buddy!
