Barnes & Noble NOOK COLOR eBook Reader (WiFi Only) Review

The NookColor meets my needs. I didn't want the size or weight of an iPad, and this promises to do everything that an iPad does... only more compactly. In fact, the only thing I'm waiting for in the NookColor is the upcoming upgrade that will handle Flash files.

My spouse has the newest Kindle, and is content with it, but I don't like the fact that the Kindle contrast is still low and is not backlit. I love the NookColor backlit screen, and like that I can read in bed without disturbing my spouse. I've adjusted the level of illumination to practically the lowest level, and find reading is very crisp, clear and a pleasure.

Although I haven't used my NookColor in bright sun, it's no problem reading in a well-lit room.

I also have the Kindle app and the Nook app on my iPod Touch. Again, since it's back-lit, I find it equally clear. I bought the NookColor because I was so happy with the Kindle/Nook apps on my iPod touch, but wanted a bigger screen.

Compared to the iPad, the NookColor is half the price and 2/3 the weight. This works for me, since I plan to travel with it.

Although I do most of my shopping through Amazon, I also like supporting the competition when it is worthy. The NookColor fits the bill!
