3 Reasons That We Love the Nook
If you haven’t heard, Barnes and Noble has announced the first Android eReader, the Nook. Check to video below.
Here’s another video from AlextheWriter:
So why do we love the Nook.
1) We love Android (you might of guess that one). To date most of the Android love has gone to phones, the Cliq, Droid, etc. But what could you do with a Wifi enabled, Android powered eReader? We think that as B&N ramps up the platform there is a go chance that the will allow the Nook to add apps to the lower, color screen that could make the Nook a wonderful hybrid of a eReader / Chumby. If B&N opens up the Nook to even limited development we would be overjoyed.
2) The dual screens is clever and very useful. The lower color screen allows for a much better user experience over the single screen Kindle. And the idea that the reader might be able to scroll through book, magazine and album (yes the Nook will play your MP3 and podcast as well) is delightful and exactly what the Droid101 ordered.
3) Finally, a Wifi eReader with SD Card storage. This allows the Nook reader to download content at light speed and the SD storage will allow Nook owners to easily move content (lots of it, like gigs at a time) between their PC or Laptop with ease.
Dear Barnes and Noble (we hope that they are reading this) we hope to provide a more detailed review in the coming weeks.
