New eReader With almost Offensive Name

Wow. I’ve had a lot of praise for the Amazon Kindle, and I love love love Amazon generally, but this is crazy awesome.

The nook ereader seems pretty cool. It lets you easily read pdfs, fast becoming the mobile standard for docs. It lets you expand the memory with SD/microSD chips, listen to music, annotate with a touch screen navigation system, and it has a neat color/eink separation going on with no keyboard (which I kind of like, though). Adding content to stores to drive traffic and letting you preview whole books in store (with an overpriced coffee) is also a big help.

I’m totally enjoying this and can’t wait to see the display at the store. In case you doubt that it started as a real company, read the wikipedia page. It really was dudes called Barnes & Noble. I’m an Amazon Prime member, so I love them too and haven’t really had much use for B&N online, but enjoy the store as much as I can. Spokanites will always have a great spot for Aunties, but far out in the county and needing online conent and home delivery, the others will usually eke out ahead on everything except experience.
