![]() ![]() I took a picture of what I am talking about since my writing/description probably bites. Again this isn't a huge deal, you can put the Nook into the cover upside down and prop it up for movies or books also. This isn't a huge deal, but when my girls watch a read to me book I prop it up so there is no "she's holding it too far from me!" "she won't let me see!" and whatever they come up with. The orientation for propping the Nook up for movies and Read To Me books is upside down. Not a huge deal my kids could still hear Read To Me books, and really I don't use that option often. The sound is a bit muffled when this cover is on. So I probably won't, be reading in the tub. If my 2 year old drops it in the toilet it's toast- the Nook I mean. I can fold it back, so the front and back covers are stiff (they have an insert for protection) but the binding is flexible Larger side pockets for notes, and index cards- I'm a index card nut I can plug it in without taking the cover off Protects my Nook Color perfectly- and that's the point ![]() I love that I can have something beautiful but it still gets the job done Here are my pros and cons for this productīeautiful- the color, the design, the button. I am not going to get into details/features, they do a great job of that on the website already. There is a video on the Oberon site that shows how the Nook Color fits into the cover and how secure it is. I had a hard time choosing a design, but am glad I went with this one. book marketing and what steps theyre taking to embrace new opportunities. I was so happy when I first saw my cover, the color is gorgeous and I love the paisley. The Nook Color is retailing for 249 (about double the Nook and basic Kindle). As with books, the most recent app items stack to the left, and scroll to the right.The closure on the Nook Color cover is different but I still like it, the company also sends out extra elastic bands with each cover. On the Nook Color’s home screen, app icons will behave just as book and periodical icons do today: They’ll appear in the active shelf at the bottom, and you can pull them out to rest on the home screen itself. Installed apps will be accessible via the Apps folder, but those apps that are interactive books will also end up in the Nook Color’s library, and organized on shelves. At the storefront, you can shop for apps separately–or, if the item you’re looking for is a book app, you’ll find it interspersed with e-book offerings.īuy an app in a single click, and it will download and install onto the Nook Color. The new apps sold via the B&N storefront will range in price, with half the collection available at launch costing $3 or less. These apps join the other stock offerings on the Nook Color, which include Chess, Contacts, Crossword Puzzle, Gallery, Pandora Internet Radio, and Sudoku apps. Calendar and note-taking apps also come with the free update. In the new OS, users get e-mail, with presets for AOL Mail, Gmail, Hotmail, and Yahoo Mail already in place no Exchange server support is built-in, but an app is available for that. Seuss, Epicurious, Lonely Planet (which starts with its Phrasebooks series), More Brain Exercises, My-Cast, Pulse, and Uno. (And, of course, POP3 e-mail and better Web browsing.) The apps are separated into sections, labeled Play, Organize, Learn, Explore, Lifestyle, News, and Kids. Games ranked high, as did education, reference, learning, and children’s apps. In adding apps as well as tablet features, B&N focused on the types of things that users requested. Already the company has requests for submission of hundreds of apps over 125 will be available at launch. The company says that over 5000 developers have registered in the program, and just two weeks ago B&N deployed tools and services for the developers to submit their apps. Apps can be books or other supplemental content, or favorites such as games and productivity tools. Instead, you’ll buy apps via B&N’s online bookstore. You still won’t have access to the Google Android Market or Google services. Also, the Lend Me app merges into the new Nook Friends social app, which facilitates sharing passages via Facebook or Twitter, for example.ī&N’s app strategy is curated and targeted. First off, the ‘Extras’ menu is renamed ‘Apps’–which makes sense, given that the whole update is app-focused. ![]()
