Title: What do you think about the Nook?
Post by: rmendoza1 on July 29, 2012, 05:16:57 pm

I've been thinking about buying the Nook from Barnes & Noble. If you own one what do you like and dislike about it? Was it worth buying?

The nook I have in mind is the one with the glow light.

It depends on what you mean by a Nook.  I don't have much experience with the Nook e-readers.  What I have seen is I prefer their display to the Kindles.  I think a rooted and overclocked Nook Color was a decent low-priced budget 7" tablet a year ago.  The 8 GB Nook Tablet was a decent 7" budget tablet until the Nexus started driving the price of better tablets it it's level.

The Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight is the best e-reader I've seen.  It is the only back-lit e-reader that I know of.  However, it is priced a bit much.  The regular price for the Glowlight is $140.  That is $30 less than the regular price for the Nook Color and $60 less than the regular price for the Kindle Fire, 8 GB Nook Tablet, and 8 GB Nexus 7.  I would personally buy the Nexus instead because as a tablet it can do more than an e-reader.

I think I can get books online from my library and it's FREE and you have to pay for a Nook...
