eReaders just seem a little too fragile for our use. We'll be taking a look at a tablet device, like the Notion Ink Adam, that can do quite a bit more and only marginally more expensive..]]>Feb 8th 2010 4:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/Feb 9th 2010 5:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/Feb 8th 2010 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://nookdevs.com/NookLauncher]]>Feb 8th 2010 12:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/Feb 8th 2010 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/Feb 8th 2010 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/Feb 8th 2010 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/Feb 8th 2010 8:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/Feb 8th 2010 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/Neither.

For DRM free, just about any reader does the job. PDF isn't great on any, especially if you are trying to read an A4 PDF on a 6 inch screen.

I'd go for something that supports ePub at the very least, although if you use something like Calibre, no problem, as you can change from just about any format to any of the other common formats. ]]>Feb 8th 2010 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/Feb 8th 2010 7:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/Feb 8th 2010 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/Feb 8th 2010 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/
Plus lackluster reviews aren't making me that excited for it.]]>Feb 8th 2010 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/
Nook Nook...

Who's there?

iPad!

iPad who?

iPad coming to raise prices for everyone and screw up the current price scheme so Apple can sell something that is it not...]]>Feb 8th 2010 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/
The Helvetica Neue font on the Nook is superb IMO. No, it doesn't give you that book like look when you're glancing at the letter, but it's extremely readable.]]>Feb 8th 2010 7:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/Feb 8th 2010 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/

Guessing the latter.

As far as dedicated e-readers so the Nook is more visually appealing than the Kindle, but Kindle feels better in the hand. I'm a Sony 505 fan, but realize some love their 3G.]]>Feb 8th 2010 12:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/Feb 8th 2010 12:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/
I think it's kinda funny, when Apple was king of MP3's they pushed for lower prices. Now that they are coming in behind the big names in the book business, they go for higher prices in order to get contracts.

For the iPad users, it's really a wash - They can read books via the Amazon Kindle app as well as the Apple Books app, so they have the best of both worlds (if not battery life, size, weight, etc.)

Now if Amazon releases an Android App, the Nook could have a niche since they'll have both B&N and Amazon books. But I don't think Amazon will do that until they are forced to. Just my two cents though, take it for what its worth...]]>Feb 8th 2010 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/
The book industry, while not in great shape, is not suffering b/c of illegal downloads. It makes decent money from hard copy sales and doesn't want to jeopardize that in an experiment with electronic media.

Bottomline: the music industry needed Apple, the book industry does not. Hard copy books will be popular for sometime to come so publishers don't feel all that pressured to cave on pricing.]]>Feb 8th 2010 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/Feb 8th 2010 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/Feb 8th 2010 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/Feb 8th 2010 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/
decisions.....decisions....]]>Feb 8th 2010 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/Feb 8th 2010 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/Me Mum has a kindle and I spent the whole day screwing with it and it just seems like a really well thought out piece of hardware. Tried the Washington Times on there and it really wasn't that bad once you figured out the navigation..... but, now every time I go into B+N I'm going to have an ever so slight nagging regret that I didn't wait the ONE day for them to announce the Nook to be sold in stores.]]>Feb 8th 2010 10:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/I have been contemplating the ebook jump for a while now. I like the look and feel of the nook, plus it just like that it comes from a book company. I feel like amazon could kill off the kindle at any time since they have so many other things, where b&n is a bookseller. They would be more dedicated to the ebook idea. I don't know, maybe that's crazy, but I just feel that way.
Also, I like the e-ink look over the "computer screen" of the ipad. I have a hard time reading on my iPhone. I hope the nook is a better experience for me. :)]]>Feb 9th 2010 4:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/nook-now-in-stock-with-free-shipping-to-boot/Feb 13th 2010 3:23PM
