The Nook Color is an eBook reader introduced by Barnes and Noble with a 7-inch color touchscreen. It retails for an affordable cost of $199 and gives those who want to dive into a book an opportunity to carry their library collection wherever they go.

Design of the Barnes & Noble NOOK Color

The NOOK Color is a compact rectangular shaped touchscreen device that is capable of displaying up to 16 million colors on an ultra-bright screen to enhance color and reduce glare on a 1024 x 600 resolution display. It operates similar to the popular tablet computers, but lacks the application market that a device running full Honeycomb Android has access to. Users can manually modify it and add the OS so they can have a fully functional tablet at a budgeted cost.

Additional Features of NOOK Color

Availability of content is not something that Nook users have to worry about. Any magazine title can be tried for 2 weeks for free and Barnes and Noble also provide access to movies and television shows, comics and even songs through trials and pre-loaded software. While reading, you can modify the text to make it larger or smaller and read in either landscape or portrait mode.

Battery Life of this E-Reader

Battery life is an estimated 8 hours with the wireless connectivity turned off, although it will vary with what you’re doing on the device and how bright the screen is.

It has support for Adobe Flash player, which is useful while web browsing, and also allows you to link all email accounts to a single inbox. Combined with multiple file format support, the NOOK Color is an excellent choice for basic functionality.
