Nook Color revealed by overzealous screen protector? -- Engadget
OK, you’re looking at me cross-eyed, let me explain.
Barnes and Noble are rumored to come out with this tablet-like full color e-reader, but why are they moving away from the eInk screen to compete with the iPad?
I have the first generation Nook and I will attest that it is not a do-all table that focuses on e-reading. It’s an e-reader with some nice bells and whistles, but don’t expect a shrunken iPad. I still love it for the fact that eInk screen makes the biggest difference. It makes reading e-books extremely comfortable on the eyes.
With the latest firmware update coming out in November, many avid readers will get the organization they want instead of just a timeline or alphabetical list of books. What more do you want? Color? Get an iPad and have fun straining your eyes.
I don’t believe the Color Nook will be able to compete with the iPad. True, I haven’t seen the specs, but I still seriously doubt it and I’m dismayed BN is leaving the eInk screen behind.
This is more an impulsive post – I know. Once they come out with the Color Nook I’ll post a more constructed opinion.
