Barnes & Noble NOOK 1st Edition Pro Reviews

Sort:

computershopper‘s review Edit Like Unlike

With its secondary touch screen and unique features, the Nook e-reader is on par with Amazon's Kindle. But in these days of the iPad and speedy smartphones, $260 is pricey for a sluggish device that does only one thing well.

In the end, the Nook is an intriguing product launched by a powerful force in the world of booksellers, but the initial offering feels long on promises and short on delivery. With the right software revisions, the Nook could be a tsunami, but as it stands right now, it's only a mild swell.

If the promised software update dramatically improves performance, the Barnes & Noble Nook could emerge as a worthy competitor to the Kindle 2. But it's current sluggish performance, along with the caveats about the LCD's interaction with the E-Ink screen, can't be ignored.

With a vast catalog of titles, instant downloads via 3G or Wi-Fi, and a nifty second touch-screen display, the Barnes & Noble Nook gives the Amazon Kindle a serious run for its money.

This eReader has a unique dual-screen design and a broad selection of content, but we wish it had snappier performance.

There’s no doubt that the Nook is a cool product – but the device feels a little rushed at this point which makes us question if it can truly give the Kindle a run for its money.

The Barnes & Noble nook is a new e-book reader that competes directly with Amazon.com Kindle. It offers most of the same features as its rival, plus some additional ones, like Wi-Fi and the ability to loan out books.

The Nook's extra features make it a worthy and enticing alternative to the Kindle, but Barnes & Noble will have to work out the device's kinks before it can reach its full potential.
