In response to Amazon, Barnes and Noble finally released their own e-book device called the Nook. The name is a bit awkward but the design is definitely slick. It even comes with two screens: One e-ink screen and another color touch-sensitive screen dedicated to navigation. Overall, it seams to be a very cool device but is it too little too late?

No way. The Kindle is ugly as hell, and people want pretty tech. If the content delivery process is comparable, the Nook can win.

I dont know. That would be a hard decision. I like how the Nook does with the book cover thumbnail pics. I wonder if it has a virtual qwerty.

I still have concerns over DRM. What happens to my library down the road? Will probably wait for Apple, Microsoft or Alex.

karencilla answered:
it’s cool, but as you said, the name is weird… the design looks better though
cas-tiel answered:
This is cool! But where will the ever-classic-books go now? Personally I’m still gonna go for the book. But I wouldn’t say no to this either.

i don’t see a future for both of them. The’re lacking an overall color touch screen. I would like to read, scetch and make notes.

Nook is very recommended by brazilian blogs… Is very, very superior to Kindle.
jamieho answered:
If I had to choose, it would be the Nook. I wouldn’t buy either, too clunky and a real book still beats these e-book devices any day.

It is never too late, at this stage of the game anyway, to perfect the eBook, an idea whose time is in the process of coming.
