Until December I wasn’t aware of Barnes & Noble Nook. I was aware of Amazon Kindle. As, a graduation present I received the Color Nook. I am learning about the features of e-reader. My first experience was downloading a free trail for Women’s Day & Good Housekeeping. I was very disappointed in reading them on e-reader it seem all about adds. Yes, it does have a feature to eliminate the adds but, not the same. On the Nook you get 14 days free trail and if you do not cancel it becomes a subscription and your account is charge. I would prefer to have paper copy of magazine. I am using my Nook for its features, as getting the internet, music, games, and e-reader. I was in Charlotte NC airport and I could not get onto the internet, because I was told WiFi was too busy. With the Nook you have to rely on WiFi for using the internet. Where I was staying in Charlotte did not have WiFi, so I could not use the Nook for the Internet. I have free books that came with the nook (not my preference), and I have downloaded one book. I am slowly reading the book. Barnes & Noble do have a lot of free books. You can search from the Nook for free e-books and there are a lot of choices. You also can go to the store and read books for a short period of time. I have not yet done that. Another feature you can lead and borrow e-books, which I have not done yet. One fault of the Color Nook is you cannot read it in sun or bright light. On vacation it may be hard to read on beach or at the pool. But, still will try and use it outside as must as possible. Another fault of the Nook is the battery needs charging more frequent than I expected, so you may always need the connection for charging. I did check 2 libraries and I could not find e-books to borrow, so maybe it is going to take time for libraries to have e-books.
Overall, the Nook is a great new tool to use today to meet your technology needs and of course reading e-books. Barnes and Noble have added more APP to the Nook making it more fun to use.
