To Nook Or Not To Nook


One day after the first reviews of the new Barnes & Noble Nook, the ebook readers scenario is quite uncertain.

Geek.com has an interesting post which collects the conclusions of the reviews by SlashGear, Engadget and Gizmodo. While SlashGear is sold on the Nook, Engadget thinks the device is on par with the Kindle and Gizmodo recommends the Amazon’s eReader.

Thus, there is no real winner.

If you look at the Nook specs, there is nothing to complain about, as the reader has Wi-Fi, PDF support, an expansion SD slot and a second color screen. However some concerns are raised about the software powering B&N’ eReader, which can be really sluggish at moments.

Let’s hope the next firmware will solve this problem. It would be a real shame to loose such a beautiful platform because of poor software implementation.
