One of the latest crazes to take the country by storm is that of the handheld reader device. Amazon’s™ Kindle® blazed the way for this type of personal device, but Barnes & Noble’s™ Nook® soon made its own foray into the handheld-reader arena, and the Nook Color® device promises to be one of this season’s hottest items for gift-giving.

What is the Barnes & Noble’s™ Nook® Color?

The Nook® is actually more than simply a reader—it is an Android® device that performs multiple functions. You can play audio and video downloads, such as MP3 and movies, and browse the internet, as well as utilize the device for internet-based radio. Additionally, you can use Office® documents, and social media via the Nook® device. It is truly an all-in-one device for the avid reader and web browser, and a good supplement for your laptop or desktop computer—its small, on-the-go structuring makes it easy to slip into a purse or briefcase and take with you everywhere. Operating on a wi-fi system which can be accessed virtually anywhere, your Nook® can provide you with hours of entertainment with its eight-hour battery life between charges.

How much memory does the Barnes & Noble’s™ Nook® Color have?

The Nook® has 8GB of memory, which allows for a lot of downloading, and it comes with a micro SD expansion slot to allow you to increase your memory at will. It supports PDF, Office®, MP3, and many video formats.

The Nook® comes with a charger cord which can be used with your computer to download or upload files. It weighs in at a tiny 15.8 ounces, making it ideal for holding while reading, and measures only 7.5 inches across, smaller than most books. With its rounded edges and sophisticated graphite-colored case, it is comfortable to hold, and can also be propped easily for extended reading. The 1024 x 600-pixel display is easy to read, although extended sessions may cause a bit of eyestrain due to the LCD format of its lighting. You can view two pages side-by-side for easier access to your books, and it has intuitive controls and icons which will allow readers to quickly become familiar with the interface.

How much is the Barnes & Noble’s™ Nook® Color?

Retailing at $249.00, the Nook® is an investment, but it can be ideal for the readers on your Christmas shopping list. You can find great deals on Nook® and other electronic items at Black Friday sales, both in-store and online. In-store Black Friday sales, held on the Friday after Thanksgiving and sometimes during the entire weekend, offer great deals at very early opening hours; check your local newspapers and your favorite retailers’ websites for details about sales in your area. Online Black Friday sales are more flexible, often offering days of deals from the week before Thanksgiving, through Thanksgiving Day itself and the weekend beyond. You can even find “Black Friday” deals on the Monday after Thanksgiving at certain online merchants. Sale information is posted on retailers’ websites, or you can find information on various Black Friday-dedicated websites. You may also be able to find coupons and codes for various discounts unavailable at the stores themselves.
