The NOOK from Barnes & Noble was originally released on November 20th, 2009. At the time, the NOOK was somewhat of an attention-getter due to the dual screen set up; if you recall, the text was black and white with a color menu at the bottom. Regardless of the fact it ran with an Android [...]

You may have seen the Quick Look intro a few days ago about the NOOKColor e-reader from Barnes & Noble.  With a 7 inch screen, this Android Tablet is based on the ARM Cortex A8-based TI OMAP3621.  We don’t know the speed of the processor, but we can tell you that it’s very responsive and [...]

Along with Kindle and Borders, NOOK has recently added an Android eReader app to their family of readers. While the NOOK tablet, which runs on a custom version of Android, has been around since November 2009, why they are just releasing an Android mobile companion now is a bit of a mystery. After doing the [...]

Last week Unbound, the Barnes & Noble e-reader blog, confirmed the planned release of a B&N eReader app for the Apple iPad. “Great news!” I thought, if this device is getting an eReader app, then the Android app can’t be far behind.

Looking like a Nook that was stretched out, Spring Design’s Alex e-reader was supposed to be taking pre-orders now, but due to a hiccup, with the ordering system of all things, release has been pushed back. As of right now, there’s no ETA on pre-sale, but you can expect their delay to be cleared up [...]
