Think of it this way – you are buying an portable electronic book reader, and you need to illegally download books to fill that portable electronic book reader.
Wait, I don’t get it . You get the Nook but you still have to pay for the downloadable books? What’s the point when you can just get the book itself without having to pay an extra $300?
no, i know iphone and itouch, iphone will lasts two days for reading i think, and there will be eye fatigue after a period of time because of the lcd’s glare, it costs three times more for an e-reader. So it’s not it.
B&N is becoming the Apple of the eReader world. Without the higher cost of hardware.
Now, they just need to lower the prices of some of the eBooks themselves! (E.g. the Dexter books, on which the Showtime show Dexter is based, are a couple dollars more expensive than they are on Amazon Kindle…get competitive B&N!).
is the experience the same as reading a regular book? does it feel cramped? I wish the get rid of the bottom screen and just maximize the reading space.
this is a nice device really. the size of this makes me bring a small bag with me instead of just placing it in my pocket.
i would suggest them to make a smaller version as a second option. Somehing like pocketable, with 4 inch touch screen e-ink display and 9mm thin and will last for 7 days with 1 gb memory and they’ll sell it for a cheaper $200 flat.
i know sometime is ok to steal an idea and create something more advance and efficient
i was going to buy the kindle two days ago but now i would switch to nook
Touch screens are better than symbian type devices. Because they can update freely, whereas other ebooks have to upgrade their entire hardware to encompass the system software. You can’t stick a new button on your phone, but you can with a touch screen! So this is looks like it’s relatively easy to upgrade. Although it’s not entirely touch screen, so somethings will have to stay the same
I noticed that too! That the lag isn’t evident from this video, and so I kept replaying segments to figure out if the finger was CG-ed or something, haha. I think it’s 2 video superposed together.

yeah, making the nook available in a larger size would solve that solution, too bad there is only one size though

There were eReaders before the Kindle AND the Nook, there are STILL other eReaders, and there will always BE other readers.
Who’s really copying whom? This is a pointless argument.
Let’s just enjoy the competitive differences!
This is capitalism at its best!

Geez, this thing looks slick!

Kindle was hardly the first eReader, dawg.

Agreed, but what might they call it? MacBook is already taken, ha.

They weren’t trying to be original. They’re just refining the idea of an electronic reading device into their own product. Sony has one too.
November 30th, 2009 at 7:54 am
this looks good but they totally stole the idea from the kindle
November 30th, 2009 at 8:16 am
You’re paying for the intellectual property and less the tree and ink.
