Nook Color.  A new phenomenon has stricken the world, and it is…  an e-reader?  I thought nobody liked to read? What is the Nook Color, anyway?  This device has redefined the e-reader universe by introducing several key features and design aspects that had not before been seen in this field of commerce.  You may still be thinking, what is the Nook Color?  You never answered the question, genius.  In short, it is a product that has redefined its industry.  If you need more than that to nourish your mind, which you probably do, read on.

What Is The Nook Color? – The Basics

 

 

The Nook Color is an $249 e-reader that allows you to download over 5,000 books with its 8 GB internal storage, and an extra 20,000 books with an optional 32 GB microSD card.  (If you read more than 25,000 books in your lifetime, apply for a Guinness World Record or something.  Nerd.)  In addition to having a full touch screen, Nook colors have Wi-fi capability, not 3G like the Kindle, so you’ll need to download your books before you go on vacation.  (Or stay at a hotel with Wi-fi.  That’s what I do – how else would I make myself feel good and get you guys to subscribe and listen to me rant?)

What is the Nook Color’s signature feature that makes it stand out among e-readers like the Kindle?  This device has a back light and is in full color – 16 million colors, to be exact.  Also, Nook Colors support video, flash, and a more advanced web browser.  (Remember, the Nook Color runs on Android.)  The Kindle’s browser is crude at best, the device has no backlight, nothing is in color, and no video is supported.

What Is The Nook Color? – Customization

 

The Nook Color allows you to personalize your background/wallpaper to make yourself feel more at home.  You can add photos from your library to use for the backdrop.  This revolutionary e-reader has a 7 inch screen, is 8 inches tall, and weighs just under a pound.  Moreover, the Nook Color has great applications like Angry Birds and Epicurious that you can download via Wi-fi.  When you consider the web browsing capabilities, Android interface, applications, and full touch screen of this wonderful device, it starts to sound like an inexpensive tablet that doubles as a book, right?
