Barnes & Noble Nook

Nook

Barnes & Nobles looks like it just one-upped Amazon's Kindle with its new Nook.

Just when Amazon thought they were about to have the e-book market cornered, Barnes & Noble crashes the party with their own device, Nook. Nook one ups the Kindle by adding two screens: One e-ink screen and another color touch-sensitive screen dedicated to navigation. The device also features free use of AT&T’s 3G network for downloading and purchasing books, Wi-Fi, and a book lending feature that allows you to lend titles to other nook users which they can keep for up to 14 days.

Some other Nook features include a paper-like display, a powerful battery life that can last up to ten days, and it can be used as an MP3 player, housing 26 hours of audio. The Nook is available for pre-order at barnesandnoble.com and is priced at $259.

  • LOVE IT! Super awesome. I love the color screen and expandable memory. So does it have a 3G wireless radio built-in too? If so, that is sweet. The price is about the same as the Kindle too, and it does a lot more. Any word on battery life?

    It's so pretty. I think the price is beyond decent and I love that it can hold a good amount of audio. I'll confess-- I love books on tape for trips-- and the Nook looks like it'll be perfect for traveling.
  • Think the screen turns off when playing Audiobooks, or does it show the text from the book at the same time. That would be pretty cool if it did.
