Since Barnes & Noble entered the e-reader market quite late, with the release of the Nook in late 2009, it was surprising to see the Nook Color edition come out just a year later. Marketed as the “reader’s tablet,” this Nook Color review will examine what the Barnes & Noble Nook Color offers as both a tablet and an e-book reader.
Size and Design
If you’re expecting a typical, ordinary e-book reader, you’ll be impressed by the Nook Color, which can easily be mistaken for a tablet PC at first glance.
Unlike traditional e-readers that use e-ink technology, the Nook Color features a 7-inch full-color LED-backlit IPS display. This type of display is similar to what Apple uses on its iPad and Mac devices. The Nook Color, however, is enhanced with Barnes & Noble’s custom VividView Technology, a screen laminating technique that reduces glare.
The Nook Color is slightly larger and heavier than the e-ink Nook. It weighs 15.8 ounces and measures 8.1 inches in length, 5 inches in width, and 0.5 inches in thickness. The front of the device is made of hard plastic, while the back has a smooth, rubberized finish.
