Barnes & Noble’s The All New NOOK, The Simple Touch Reader

Just when iPad releases a big leap from iPad to iPad 2, Barnes & Noble recently introduced the All New NOOK, The Simple Touch Reader. This latest addition to the NOOK product line is designed not just to follow the success of the NOOK 1st Edition™ but claims to be the easiest-to-use, most optimized, and dedicated reading device ever created.

The All New NOOK merely weighs 7.48 ounces and 35 percent lighter and 15 percent thinner than NOOK Wi-Fi 1st Edition™. Combine these with the soft-touch back and contoured ergonomic design, you can enjoy reading with just the use of one hand even for longer hours. With Wi-Fi off, you can read up to 2 months with a single charge. That is twice as long as other eReaders in the market today. Additionally, using the expandable memory slot, it can hold up to 1,000 eBooks so you can have your favorite digital or personal contents anywhere you go minus the weight. The All New NOOK can easily fit in a pocket, purse, jacket, or backpack. Taking advantage of touch technology, a simple tap to The All New NOOK’s 6-inch touchscreen offers simple navigation – font size and style adjustment, highlighting passages, and word searches can be done by typing on the responsive on-screen keyboard which appears only when you need it.

Moreover, Barnes & Noble uses the latest-generation E Ink screen and proprietary technology that lessens flashing to 80 percent while turning pages, scrolling the library or browsing digital contents. Aside from ultra fast page turns through touchscreen, the Fast Page™ feature allows pressing and holding the side button to quickly scan through content and skip right to the preferred section.

Samsung E-reader – The New Kid on the Block

New and more advanced e-readers are popping out everywhere like some gardener’s nightmare of uncontrolled crabgrass infestation in a humus rich lawn. But for book geeks out there, the more new e-readers, the more choices and the more intense the competition – all for the better of end consumers. One e-reader out there distinguishes itself from the sea of other newcomers, the new Samsung E-reader stands tall with its advanced features and revolutionary innovations. The very first e-reader from Samsung will feature a one of a kind electromagnetic resonance (EMR) pen which basically allows users to write on the reader’s screen like the conventional pen and paper books. Adding annotations and memos in the margins, and modifying e-books, periodicals and even images with direct handwriting are now possible with the EMR pen. Users can also add voice memo and audio annotations via the integrated voice recorder. The handwriting and voice recorder fully supports the included journal, scheduler and memo applications. An electronic dictionary is also readily available anytime even in between reading. The Samsung E-reader supports e-pub, PDF/a, TXT, bmp and jpg formats.

Samsung E-reader sports a compact slider form factor with a 6-inch e-ink display. The display is capable of 600×800 resolution with 8-Gray scale, perfect for reading indoors and outdoors. With the integrated front speakers and handy headphone jack, users can experience Samsung’s peerless text-to-speech (TTS) technology and built in mp3 player. Additional features include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity, 2GB internal memory (holds around 1,500 books) expandable to 16GB, and exclusive access to Barnes and Noble’s eBookstore.
