Barnes noble nook simple touch ebook

This is an important feature to me because sometimes I may be sitting in the backyard by the pond or I may be in the car on a long road trip and I can still shop. To me, shopping is half the fun of an e-reader. All in all, if you want a an e-reader and don't want to drop a lot of money, a used Nook Touch will do the job. If you can afford it, I would recommend a reader that can connect to the internet anywhere and not just at a WiFi hot spot.

If your bottom line is whether you can read the screen comfortably for hours at a time and you can hoard tons of books, the Nook Touch will do that. For a simple ereader, look no further than this Nook simple touch. Very impressed at the features, size, low eight and the awesome eink display! If you like to read books, newspapers and such, then this simple device is all you need.

I'm very surprised this doesn't come with simple apps like sudoku! Everyone I know who reads a lot plays this game and I'm at a loss why this was left out of the ST. But, it makes up for it with the ability to read pdf's and has the expandable microSD card slot as well. And did I mention this thing is uber light? Once color eink displays hit the market, these types of cheap tablets will be awesome.

All in all, the touch screen is responsive and the second-generation Nook is zippy for an e-ink device.

Instead of the screen flashing every page turn as it does with the Kindle, the screen flashes about every fifth page turn. However, it should be noted that in our side-by-side comparison with the Kindle, the two e-readers turned pages at essentially the same speed.

The device isn't as zippy as an iPad 2, but books open quickly and pages turn in a fraction of a second with a swipe of the screen or just touch the right margin to page forward and the left margin to page back. There are also four very slim "hard" buttons along the side of the screen that you can use to turn pages in the settings menu, you can change whether to page forward with the top or bottom buttons.

Holding those buttons down allows you to fast forward--or rewind--through a book's pages, which is a nice feature. Both use the same Neonode infrared touch technology for their touch screens along with E Ink's latest Pearl display that's also found in the Kindle and Sony readers. MX processor. Right now the Nook just feels a little zippier, especially when it comes to doing things like accessing the e-readers' respective online e-book stores.

We get the feeling the designers married the look and feel of the company's redesigned Web site with the Nook Color's interface, and it largely lives up to its billing as the "Simple Touch Reader. Overall, the UI seemed quite straightforward, and the touch-screen interface really lends itself to e-reading and performing such functions as highlighting text and adding notes via the responsive virtual keyboard.

You can simply tap-and-hold on a word to bring up the built-in dictionary and navigate through menus without using the little directional button to scroll through and press the button to make a selection. Note: We had to consult the onboard user manual to figure out how to highlight a sentence, but had no problem finding the particular section in the manual after we keyed "highlight" into the search bar. In case you don't know about Neonode's "zForce" infrared touch technology , it's the same technology that first appeared in Sony's latest generation e-readers, and it works really well.

The basic idea behind it is that small infrared sensors are built into the inside of the border around the screen and can sense where you finger is touching on the screen. In fact, you don't really have to touch the screen and can let you finger hover just a hair over the screen to get a response.

Overall, the touch screen is a pleasure to use, but we did experience one period where we noticed significant ghosting--the previous screen's image still visible after it refreshed a new page. The problem persisted for a couple of minutes, but once we cycled the power, we were unable to repeat the issue.

We'll have more on battery life as we spend more time with the device, but for now it's safe to say the Nook's battery life is very good, especially if you keep the wireless off the Wi-Fi connectivity is the biggest power drain.
