With over 1,000,000 books available at your fingertips, it’s a wonder why anyone would buy a paper copy of their favorite book!
What makes The Nook stand out from the rest? The Nook is powered by the Google software “Android” which is compatible with over 100 other electronic devices. This gives The Nook the ability to sync with almost any smart-device on the market today. According to Barnes&Noble, while other eBook readers share the same “E Ink” screen technology, the Nook screen display technology is “clearer than actual book text.” This makes reading easier for everyone. Also, The Nook also boasts lively color navigation screens, which until the Apple iPad Tablet becomes available April 3, 2010, makes it unique.
Lastly, and most definitely not least, The Nook offers a feature that has been unheard of… you actually get the ability to lend eBooks to other people who not only have a Nook but also to anyone who has the Barnes&Noble app (which could be just about anyone seeing as the app works on PCs, Macs, iPhones, iPod Touch, Blackberrys…)
