Barnes & Noble NOOK Touch eBook Reader (NEWEST model, WIFI Only) Review
| 143 of 146 people found the following review helpful:  Simple (To Use) Touch Reader, This review is from: Barnes & Noble NOOK Touch eBook Reader (NEWEST model, WIFI Only) (Electronics) I purchased the Kindle (Wi-Fi) and the original Nook (the B&W one) and tried them out during the return period. While there were things about the Kindle I really liked (features that other reviewers on the Kindle site had written), the one thing that made me choose the Nook was the ability to borrow and read ebooks from my local library. Haven't been back to the library since! Now here comes the Nook Simple Touch Reader (Nook STR). I got one via pre-order when they came out in early June. It has the same e-ink Pearl screen as the Kindle, so the screen contrast is no longer an issue. And wow, has the user interface improved over the original Nook! (which I thought was clunky) The entire e-ink Pearl screen has full touchscreen capability. On both the Kindle and the original Nook, I felt myself wanting to touch the screen to select a book to read, instead of using the buttons (on the Kindle) or the LCD touchscreen (on the original Nook) to highlight and select the desired...

Charlotte (Princeton, NJ) - See all my reviews This review is from: Barnes & Noble NOOK Touch eBook Reader (NEWEST model, WIFI Only) (Electronics) Just a short review of my two weeks with the Nook Simple Touch. This looked the the reader to get when it came out. Specifically for me the touch screen was a must. I enjoyed reading on it everyday until I returned it. It was light and extremely easy to navigate with its touch screen. What happened though, was on about the 12th day while using it the touch screen stopped responding. I couldn't turn a page with the screen or pull up a menu with the screen or do anything else. And, when I shut it off and turned it back on I couldn't swipe the screen to get into the book - I was completely stuck...locked out. Finally after fiddling with it after about 15 minutes it started to work again. I went on the web and found out that others had this same thing happen to them so I decided to return it rather then hope for a fix (I was still within my 14 days return policy). 72 of 79 people found the following review helpful: Root it and it's even better!, By John Braun (Earth) - See all my reviews This review is from: Barnes & Noble NOOK Touch eBook Reader (NEWEST model, WIFI Only) (Electronics) The device itself is amazing... -great TOUCHSCREEN interface -perfect reading screen -clean looking design, small because there is no keyboard to make it bigger and it's smaller than the original Nook -reads formats natively that the Kindle won't -read all the ebooks you want in B&N stores for free -library checkouts are easy -press and hold on a word to get its definition -highlight and take notes in a book easily ...but when you ROOT the thing it gets even better! Install the Gmail app to get your mail, get the Opera browser (supports Flash!), install the Kindle app and you can read Kindle ebooks too, it has a Bluetooth chip so when hackers turn that on you will be able to attach a keyboard / microphone / headphone, and on and on. Make sure to get the Home Button Savior app so you can switch back and forth between the B&N reader and the rest of the device's functionality. I used... Read more |
