Barnes and Noble's new, second-gen Nook is not a larger, iPad-sized device. Nor could it be a hybrid readers with dual, E-Ink and LCD screens. Rather, it is a small, cheap E-Readers...having a touch screen along with a battery that lasts TWO Several weeks on one charge. Upgrading live...
The 2nd-gen Nook weighs in at 7.5 oz ., includes a 6-inch Gem display, wi-fi, and can cost just like Amazon's $140, wi-fi compatability-only Kindle readers. The Nook is shorter compared to Kindle, because of the possible lack of keyboard, and it has a countoured, matte back which causes it to be simpler to take care of. So far as guts go, it operates on an 800MHz TI OMAP 3 processor, has 2 gb of onboard storage and it is powered by Android 2.1.
The screen runs on the new proprietary flashing technology, which prevents the ghosting available on other E-Ink visitors, and provides pages the result of dissolving into one another whenever you turn pages. The touch screen isn't just accustomed to travel through a magazine, but additionally to gain access to the Nook book shop. You may also lookup words, highlight passages making notes while using on-screen keyboard.
And talking about the book shop, Nook released an element known as Nook Buddies, which allows you follow other Nook customers you realize, to determine what they are reading through and suggesting. Plus, you are able to lend books to each other.
The Nook can be obtained for pre-use the internet (as well as in stores) at this time, and can begin shipping on June 10 for $139. The initial wi-fi and 3rd generation Nook will cost $119 and $169, correspondingly.
