Why don’t we quickly introduce the Barnes and Noble Nook Wi-Fi for you. At just $149 this gadget sports a 6 in . E Ink display and a color LCD. It features a 1.3 GB memory compared to the current 1 GB typical among the other eReaders nevertheless its memory is extensible so no worries there. It weighs a bit more than other devices from 11.6 oz, most of the competition are usually way below that at 9 or 8 oz.

There is also a more expensive model costing $199, which adds 3G to the mix. Instantly you can already begin to appreciate that for that price the device is pretty good value for money. Visually the Nook originally is a mixture of two colors, battleship-gray and off-white however if that does not float your boat then you may change it via different tinted backs for people who choose more color in their life. Among Nook’s trademark characteristics is a set of two screens: one is the basic E Ink display screen and the other the LCD color touch display that is Android-powered.

Like the Kindle, the Nook is a system rather than simply a device, capable of easily browsing and making one-click acquisitions and downloads through Barnes & Noble’s enormous store of electronic books, newspapers and journals. What’s more, the Nook’s Wi-Fi connects automatically to allow you to read free excerpts from just about any ebook while you are drinking a cappucino at your favorite B&N store. You can also lend or perhaps borrow books free of charge, for up to 14 days.

Based upon the book you’re reading, the Nook can show text in up to 16 different languages. For travelers, the Nook has an aircraft mode that allows you to switch off 3G and also Wi-Fi while flying, so they won’t interfere with navigation equipment. The readability factor of the Nook goes over and above other devices having 16 different shades of gray, 3 varieties of print styles and 5 assorted sizes. If we do the statistics there it would be a bunch of options. I’m sure you’ll find one that is best match for you. Also another great way to personalize the device is by installing any image by means of USB and assign it as your screensaver.

On the downside, it’s a bit slow when it powers up and unlike some other ereaders you can’t rotate the written text…which is ok I guess since a regular publication does not do that yet it’s odd they omitted this option. Net browsing is also quite slow. The touchscreen can also be a mite tough so if you plan to use the virtual keyboard you may find it frustrating. What some people appreciate, because other eBook shops don’t allow it, is you can loan or borrow ebooks with others that own a Nook. Alas it’s a one-time deal so save this for your current bestest friend!
