Barnes and Noble has a very special announcement on November 7
Rumors about the NOOK Color 2 aren't hard to come by these days, and it doesn't look like Barnes and Noble, the brick-and-mortar bookseller that launched the color eReader late last year, is trying to keep the rumor mill quiet, either. If this invite is any indicator as to what's going to be announced on the seventh of November, we can probably expect some new device...

Ever since Barnes & Noble revealed the very first Android-powered NOOK, the eReader line-up has done pretty well for itself. Now that it features one of the best eReaders out there (the NOOK Touch), along with an affordable tablet alternative (the NOOK Color), the book seller is looking to expand its product availability. Starting soon, you'll be able to get your... Read more » Kindle vs. Nook
Introduction: Full disclosure: I am a Nook fan. I have been since my purchase of the first Nook, and my experiences with the Simple Touch (unboxing, review) and Nook Color (review) have been, for the most part, very postivie. Though, I've found that e-ink is the best reason to choose an e-reader over a tablet for reading. (See my comparison of the first two... Read more » Nook to refresh retailer’s shelves

I've had a Nook Simple Touch in hand for all of 32 hours as I type this, and I have yet to test a Kindle 3, so I can't make an authoritative, blanket statement about the quality of this e-reader compared to everything else that's out there. But I want to. I own a WiFi-only version of the original Nook and I had a NOOKcolor in my possession for several months,... Read more » Barnes and Noble to phase out Nook 3G?
Engadget has word that Barnes and Noble will be discontinuing their original e-ink e-reader, the Nook 3G. Once existing supply is sold out, that'll be all she wrote. The Nook 3G, which has free lifetime data connectivity courtesy AT&T, apparently hasn't sold nearly as well as the $50 cheaper Wi-Fi-only version of the gadget, not to mention a heck of a lot less...

After posting my NOOKcolor unboxing and NOOKcolor review, I received a number of questions about daylight readability in comparison to the original Nook. The truth is that there isn't much of a comparison. E-ink displays and backlit LCDs offer two very different experiences, and while you will find variation amongst LCDs and e-ink displays, pitting the two against...

Barnes & Noble's NYC event this week will coincide nicely with the release of a Nook software update that focuses on synch and performance enhancements, like a faster page turn. But the Nook 2, long referred to as Project Encore, looks to be bringing more to the table than a couple of new bullet points and tweaks. The image below turned up in the accessory...

For those who missed it, I love my $149 Nook Wi-Fi. And I love my Nook for Android application. The two of them have renewed my passion for spare time pleasure reading, mostly because discovering and buying new books is a snap with either. There is one feature that could save me a bit more time when working my way through a book on multiple devices, and that's... Read more » B&N “More in Store” September Nook offers
One of the great features of Barnes & Noble's Android-powered Nook is that it can be used to browse entire books for free when connected to a B&N store's WiFi. This is an oft-mentioned selling point, though I usually recall it once I've arrived at my local Barnes & Noble Nook-less. According to my discussions with several other Nook owners, I'm not the only... Read more »
