Rain at Black's Nook
The Nook? Can somebody help me out?
My daughter is going off to college and I was thinking of getting her a Nook. I have a few questions:
-There are Textbooks you can download to the Nook, but I am worried they wont have her specific textbooks(don't have a list yet). Will it be likely that they have a good amount of her needed textbooks?
-On the regular nook, are the pages completely black and white? If she was to get a textbook with pictures are the pictures going to end up being black and white?
Thank you in advance.
Hi, Archituethis dux, Kindle DX was tested with several universities for textbooks and it failed pretty badly thus I think e-Ink screen is not good for college books. Nook Color from Barnes & Noble is a hybrid eReader/tablet Android device, much more than just an e-Reader but not a full tablet as it doesn't have a camera (but iPad also doesn’t have one.) Even though Nook Color has LCD touchscreen, it's a new generation screen which is anti-glare coated and is better performing in sunlight and produces less glare and eye strain all of which are dooming reading on iPad. Also, the screen is amazing and readable/viewable at wide angles.
Nook Color is Wi-Fi-only at this time thus you need to have access to wireless hotspot - examples would be any Barnes & Noble store that provides free Wi-Fi to Nook's or any Starbucks or any McDonalds or airport or any other place that provides free Wi-Fi service or your home wireless router - to download eBooks. Again, it's only needed to download eBooks or browse the Internet. Once you downloaded the eBooks to your device, you don't need Internet connection to read them. There's over a million of free public ebooks as well as over a million of ebooks that you need to pay for available through Barnes & Noble eBook store. Prices are generally much lower than for physical books.
Nook Color has several apps that already come with the device (Pandora Internet radio, QuickOffice, etc.) Also, Barnes & Noble recently released Nook SDK and Nook Developer platform that will allow most of the existing 100,000 Android apps be ported to it. You can use the Social Settings screen to link your NOOKcolor to your Facebook account and your Twitter account. You can also import all your contacts from your Google Gmail account. Once you have linked to Facebook and Twitter and set up email contacts, you can lend and borrow books, recommend books, and share favorite quotes with your friends.
Other benefits of Nook (both black & white and Color) include ability to lend books for two weeks to friends or to your other devices that run B&N app (PC, MAC, Android phones, Apple iPhone and iPad, etc.), to read any available eBook for free while in the store via free provided in the store Wi-Fi, to use it for for library ebooks and for renting text-ebooks.
If all you want is to read novels, the original e-Ink Nook might be better for you. If you want something more from your device (color graphs and charts of college text books, childrens books, photos and videos, web sites) at half of the price of iPad or Galaxy tab, then Nook Color is your best bet.
