Sue G in PA Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 If you have one, could you review it for me? I cannot afford an iPad (although I did hear select TJMaxx and Marshalls locations are offering them for $399 on Black Friday!) but would love a Kindle or Nook. I am shying away from Kindle and all Amazon stuff b/c of the pedophilia book issue but love the looks of the new NookColor. I'm going to stop at our local B&N to see. I wonder if I could use my Teacher Discount? :D That would be very nice. :) Thanks for any reviews! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Sue, I just bought mine two days ago and have had little time with it as my dc have enjoyed playing with it. They are calling it an ipad lite~it doesn't have all the extra app's an ipad would have but it also doesn't cost hundreds more :D. I like the fact the library has shelves where I can categorize different books in case I decide to share it with some of my dc. I started my first book last night, and it's so easy to read on the Nook~the lights were out as dh was sleeping, but I could read as long as I wanted anyway~that was exciting for me, lol. I'll probably go back to B&N for tutorials on how to get the most use out of it, but so far I'm loving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue G in PA Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 That's what I was wondering as well...the backlighting. I heard that the Kindle uses eInk and isn't harsh on the eyes. How is the Nook in bright sunglight? Glare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Does the backlighting hurt your eyes after awhile? I read for an hour and my eyes were fine. I don't know if this is something that some people are just sensitive to and some aren't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
