The All-New NOOK hands-on and unboxing video

Vincent Nguyen, Jun 9th 2011 Discuss [8]

Barnes & Noble’s original NOOK threw complexity at Amazon’s Kindle to try to carve a spot in the growing ereader market. A dual-screen device pairing both E Ink and touchscreen LCD panels, it found some favor among users but undoubtedly intimidated others looking for a purist reading experience. No such complaints about focus with the All-New NOOK, however: a simple, black-framed e-paper square with discrete touchscreen control and its attention fixed on reading. Check out our unboxing and first impressions after the cut.

Nook Touch has a hidden web browser

Shane McGlaun, Jun 8th 2011 Discuss [2]

There are many reasons that makers of the gadgets we all know and love start building cool features, then hide them away deep inside the heart of the gadgets, and never talk about them again. Often the reason for this is that the feature sounds like a good idea and then the devs either can't make the feature work correctly or simply run out of time and can't finish the project. One of these hidden features has been found on the new Android-powered Nook Touch tablet. Read The Full Story

3G on my Ereader, not my Tablet

Chris Davies, May 27th 2011 Discuss [3]

Amazon and B&N are taking pot-shots at each other this week, each competing on whose ereader lasts longest. As ereaders gain in popularity and become more mainstream, too, I’m increasingly asked which model I’d go for and, more often, whether I’d pay extra for those with integrated 3G or save my money and opt for WiFi-only instead. Funnily enough, my stance on 3G ereaders is the complete opposite of my thoughts on 3G tablets.

NOOK battery whips even recalculated Kindle insists B&N

Chris Davies, May 26th 2011 Discuss [1]

The aftermath of the new Barnes & Noble NOOK being announced has seen the ebook retailer locked in a battery life battle with arch rival Amazon, as the two firms spar over whose ereader lasts longer. Having seen B&N launch the touchscreen NOOK with the claim it would run for up to two months on a single charge, Amazon tweaked its own Kindle battery life estimates to match based on the presumed usage equation: wireless off and 30 minutes of use a day, or half what it had originally accounted for with the Kindle figures. Turns out, though, B&N is using no such sum, and reckons the new NOOK has demonstrably more stamina. Read The Full Story

Barnes & Noble has outed its latest ereader, an all-new B&N NOOK, complete with a touch-enabled display and a 6-inch E Ink Pearl e-paper screen. The new NOOK weighs in at a mere 7.5oz - the third-gen Kindle is 8.5oz in comparison - and the new display apparently has 80-percent less flashing as it refreshes than the dual-display original NOOK.
