Why not? No backlight, I'm not ordering. A book light will not do. Is it that difficult to integrate a backlight? ]]>Oct 20th 2009 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-officially-launches-nook-e-reader-259-pre-orde/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-officially-launches-nook-e-reader-259-pre-orde/Oct 20th 2009 2:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-officially-launches-nook-e-reader-259-pre-orde/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-officially-launches-nook-e-reader-259-pre-orde/
No backlight please. BTW how many books are backlit?]]>Oct 20th 2009 2:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-officially-launches-nook-e-reader-259-pre-orde/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-officially-launches-nook-e-reader-259-pre-orde/
wow, ive never seen the word "back light" use so many times in one given space. maybe if you say it enough, it will happen!]]>Oct 20th 2009 2:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-officially-launches-nook-e-reader-259-pre-orde/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-officially-launches-nook-e-reader-259-pre-orde/
If you understood it, and if you actually used it, you'd know that the lack of a backlight is an *advantage*. The eInk display looks and acts just like a printed page. It relies on external (ambient) lighting, so it's just as legible under direct sunlight as it is in a dimly lit subway station, or under a tiny clip-on book light.]]>Oct 20th 2009 2:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-officially-launches-nook-e-reader-259-pre-orde/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-officially-launches-nook-e-reader-259-pre-orde/Oct 20th 2009 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-officially-launches-nook-e-reader-259-pre-orde/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-officially-launches-nook-e-reader-259-pre-orde/Oct 20th 2009 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-officially-launches-nook-e-reader-259-pre-orde/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-officially-launches-nook-e-reader-259-pre-orde/

From what it sounds, Barnes & Noble will have a book store as well. Which is great. I would assume it would be just as complete as Amazon's. ]]>Oct 20th 2009 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-officially-launches-nook-e-reader-259-pre-orde/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-officially-launches-nook-e-reader-259-pre-orde/
"Ugh, I so hate the ' killer' phrase."

yeah we need a killer killer]]>Oct 20th 2009 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-officially-launches-nook-e-reader-259-pre-orde/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-officially-launches-nook-e-reader-259-pre-orde/
No.... It's not an Apple product, so it can't be a 'killer' Killers only kill Apple stuff since Apple is more innovative.

Joking aside, this will give the Kindle a run for the money. The 3G network will be crucial. If it's on Sprint or better yet, Verizon, it will totally roll over the Kindle and AT&T. If it's on Verizon, it's a total blitz attack on AT&T (with the Droid coming out).

Now I'm wondering, which was better today, Apple's "new innovative" stuff or this and the Droid?]]>Oct 20th 2009 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-officially-launches-nook-e-reader-259-pre-orde/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-officially-launches-nook-e-reader-259-pre-orde/Oct 20th 2009 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-officially-launches-nook-e-reader-259-pre-orde/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-officially-launches-nook-e-reader-259-pre-orde/
