Barnes & Noble Nook Full Review


UPDATE!!!!! _________________ iamgadgetman iamgadgetman (1 second ago) Remove | Spam Marked as spam People were wondering what case this is. Here is the link gifts.barnesandnoble.com Also I accidentally removed somebody’s comment regarding the type of case I chose. I recommend this one only because I didn’t want to have to deal with a flap or a book style form factor. The unit is nice to hold with its “grippy” back and I really didn’t want to bulk it up more with a case that had to stay permanently attached. Thank you all for your patience and great feedback. I have finally posted the review for this bad boy. Good thing I waited, since today they released the 1.1 Software update. Now at least my review won’t need to change because of the update. Please let me know if I missed something or if you have further questions.

    @schildty12345 This unit runs on AT&T’s network, the Kindle runs on sprint.

    @AZBA11in You can use a capacitive pen on it, but really with such a small screen I would not recommend it. Your finger should do just fine.

    @twitbit23 No, just happened to be connected to a WIFI network, it does also connect over AT&T cellular service when WIFI is not available and vice versa.

    does it cost money to shop wirelessly off of the nook? (meaning just to look, not definately buy)
    and do you have to pay for wifi when you’re not at barnes and noble? i know that they have free wifi but i cant find the answer

    Does Nook have the read aloud feature that KIndle has? It is good for kids and education. Does IPad? Wish they did…

    Is the only way to purchase e-books on the Nook through credit card? Or can you buy gift cards for them at the actual store or something…?

    The kindle dosen’t support an open format such as epub. Amazon have also deleted books from the kindle without asking. Search new york times website for “Amazon Erases Orwell Books From Kindle”

    Please consider an e-reader that supports open formats such as epub. This includes sony’s, the nook and many others.

  14. iamgadgetman 22. Feb, 2010 at 8:26 pm #

    Depending on the format, they haven’t come up with a converter yet for kindle books, but I’m sure it’s on the way. But of course it does not support AMZ files (Amazon). Below are the supported file types.
    EPUB
    PDB
    PDF
    Other Sources
    EPUB (Non or Adobe DRM)
    PDB (Non DRM)
    PDF
    Graphics: JPG, GIF, PNG, BMP
    Audio: MP3

    @HoodaThunket
    WTF? LOL

  17. iamgadgetman 22. Feb, 2010 at 10:57 pm #

    @tonyend2001 Yeah it does, more options.

  18. tonyend2001 22. Feb, 2010 at 11:44 pm #

    Thanks for the review. I’ve been trying to decide between the Kindle and Nook and it looks like the Nook handles PDF’s better than Kindle.

    @Setta19
    The Mercer Slip Cover in Ink. Link in the description.

    @babaikaushik
    False you can change the font size from small all the way up to Extra large.

    @HoodaThunket
    I’m sorry to have made you sad. Honestly I had to be quiet as to not disturb anyone else. I will be sure to be more energetic next time. Thank you for your comment. :)

  22. iamgadgetman 23. Feb, 2010 at 1:20 am #

    @andrew8768
    Yes, your options are Furthest reading point, Cover, and chapter. If you lay bookmarks you can go to those too.

  23. Setta19 23. Feb, 2010 at 2:16 am #

    Which exact case is that?

  24. andrew8768 23. Feb, 2010 at 2:56 am #

    Can you go to a certain part of the book? Like is there the table of contents for the book you are reading and can you skip around the book without going through page by page?

  25. HoodaThunket 23. Feb, 2010 at 3:33 am #

    i’m sorry but just listening to the slow, quiet tone of your voice makes me sad… can’t even watch the whole review. have you been depressed lately? are you always like this?
