Perfect For Students
Posted .I went to Barnes and Noble on Black Friday. There, I tested the newly released Nook color. First, I did not like the original at all. The thought of that small of a touch screen was a turn-off. Secondly, the ladies there showed me a 20-minute demonstration. After that, I was hooked. They are the same quality where ever you shop at. It is all touch screen which means bigger buttons so fatter fingers can still use it with ease. It is also great because you can surf the internet, WiFi provided, and play a few games. If you are near a B&N store you can preview the book or even read the book for one hour like a demonstration. If you are near your public library and own a library card, you can 'check' books out for around 3 weeks depending on your library. Either way, this is better that the kindle and all Sony's. One last thing, do not buy the screen protector. With what the screen is, the protector will assume that the screen has been touched. After that, its only a matter of days until the screen doesn't react to touching, I know this from experience :). Thats all about the greak NOOKcolor.

The chase was worth it!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted .So, on the 11th of this month (February) I bought a Kindle 3. I was pleased with it til I saw the reviews on the nook color by Barnes & Noble. I wanted one, so I took the Kindle back and asked for the nook color last night. They didn't have one at my closest store to me, so I got something else. Today, I called a Best Buy in the next county, and they had one and held it for me. After I switched the Kindle (which I got back earlier) and got the color. After I got home and played around with it, I see this as a great eReader, and a great machine all around. The shopping is easy, set up a snap, and Pandora so I can read to my favorite music. The battery life is a little suspect (from what I read), however, I think that is a little far fetched. The backlit screen does not hurt the eyes, and the videos are smooth. I am happy now that i got my "Red Rider BB Gun", so to speak.

Great price, great product!
Posted .I love my Nook Color Touch! I wanted a small device to store and carry my knitting patterns with me with good reading capabilities. I got more than I realized. Love the fact I could increase memory with an SD Mini Chip (32 GB), excellent sound for listening to music, beautiful color to show off the grandpuppies pictures, Internet access, Pandora, e-books, and of course all my patterns/knitting books were transferred to the NC...all in one handy place! Battery life is very good too. I have recommended the NC to many friends.

Great E-book
||Posted .I really enjoy my Nook however my only issue with it is that if you don't periodically completely power off the Nook, the pages will not load or when you "turn" the page, it actually goes back several pages instead of advancing. I now completely power off my Nook each night when I go to bed but only put it to "sleep" during the day.

Very Good Prioduct
||Posted .Great product my 11 yr old loves it. IT is easy to utilize and download any needed apps or books. The games are easy and fun. Again, my daughter mainly uses it as she just loves it. It is perfect for her and me when I can get my hands on it,

easy to use
||Posted .Very easy to use; battery life will last a couple of days when in idle. Easy to read. The only flaw is its strictly Barnes and Nobel. If you have another site for an ereader it will not let you download those books onto the nook. Other than that a great gift for anyone at any age!

Q: QuestionWhat is the advantage of having 3G capabilities as on the Nook w/3G?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer 3G allows for a wider range of access to the Barnes & Noble NOOKbook Store. 3G (cellular) connectivity means that you can purchase and download NOOKbooks anywhere you receive a cellular signal, whereas WiFi hotspots are in specific locations you most likely already visit such as McDonalds and Starbucks. With NOOKcolor's touchscreen keyboard, you can also connect to password-protected Wi-Fi networks, and even enter payment information if any is required.
Answered by nook

Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer NOOKcolor has WiFi connectivity only at this time. NOOK 3G + WiFi, however, does NOT feature a monthly service fee.
