Barnes & Noble Nook eBook Reader Review

Dec 23 2009, 5:00am CST | by Luigi Lugmayr

The Barnes & Noble Nook is a worthy contender to the Amazon Kindle, but there was not enough stock and only a few lucky people will receive one as a Christmas gift this year.
Digital Trends tested the nook and came away with mixed feelings. It is a cool product, but has rough edges.
Quote from the review: "Read between the virtual lines, what with runaway sales of Amazon's Kindle and news of Plastic Logic and co. splayed all over the evening headlines: eReaders are the hot items to have this holiday season. Luckily enough, retail bookselling giant Barnes & Noble was able to get into the game just in the nick of time with their new Nook eBook player, which goes straight for Jeff Bezos and co.'s throat.
Thankfully, as the device proves in the face of mounting competition, there is still room in the category for alternate players, and plenty of space left for improvements in this emerging technology. As we quickly discovered, the Barnes & Noble nook has a few tricks up its sleeve and gives the Kindle a run for its money - read on to discover precisely how."
