This is Google operating system that has found its way onto phones and now on the Nook. I dumped my iPhone months ago and have been using the MyTouch 3g with T-Mobile which also runs on Android.. I love it! I live on Google Apps such as mail, calendar, etc, and this phone integrates nicely with all these apps. I find the phone more useful than my iPhone. Android is also open source. I'm sure there will be apps that will connect my phone to the Nook.
It has WiFi
You can connect to the e-book store from home and when you can go to any Barnes and Noble you will also connect for free AND read any e-book for free while you are in the store. This means that you can read a few pages of any ebook first to see if you like it prior to purchase.
Dual Screens
It has a cool color touch screen on the bottom used for navigation.
So there you have it. Of course the ebook reader has been around for a while - Sony and Amazon have it. But they look ugly and they have not appealed to me until now with the Nook. The Nook has more features that make it worthwhile I think. Plus you will have access to thousands of more books.
Will I enjoy this new reading experience? Time will tell. There's always Ebay and Craigslist. I want to hate it but I can't. Everything is going digital. I have to adapt.
How do you feel about this?
