Barnes and Noble will now sell the "Nook", their increasing to the eBook Reader market, dominated largely by the Kindle and the Sony Reader. What's so special about the Nook according to Barnes and Noble?
The Nook Unique feature #1- The Nook eBook Reader boasts a engaging color pilotage screen. This means full color when you are scrolling straight through your ebook title covers, newspapers, magazines, etc. The Kindle 2 is still a gray-scale screen. Is this a obvious for the Nook?
The Nook Unique feature #2- The Nook is boasting the quality to lend books to other population who have the "app" on their smart device. So the lendee doesn't necessarily have to have the Nook, but only the app. This app works on iPhone, Blackberry Touch, etc... The person who lends the book can do so for up to 2 weeks, and will not have entrance to the book while they lend it. Advantage or not even a feature?
The Nook feature #3- The "E Ink" screen is a key technology on this new device, and is also a feature on the Kindle 2. This screen display technology is "clearer than actual book text" according to the folks at Barnes and Noble. You can make the font as large and small as you want as well.
The Nook Unique feature #4- The Nook has the quality to sync with almost any smart-device on the shop today. The Nook is powered by the Google software, "Android", and is compatible with over 100 other electronic devices on the market. So there are four ways the Nook is a unique increasing to the eBook Reader market.
All these features are unique to the Amazon Kindle 2.
The Kindle 2 doesn't have a color pilotage screen, but does have the same "E-ink" screen, so this is comparable.
The Kindle doesn't yet give you the quality to lend books like the Nook does. We will see if this feature is something the consumer embraces, or if it is an overlooked feature.
The Kindle does any way have a "text to speech" feature so you can switch to speech while driving in the car. The Kindle has the quality to sync with a few devices, but will not compete with the fact that Nook will sync with 100's of devices. Android software is not a proven theory however, and we will have to see how the developers embrace Google's new platform.
The Nook Vs Kindle 2 - And the Winner is?
