The Nook Sucks
Last week ended it, it’s over. The game is changing. I am sorry Amazon I love your website but your parlay into the E-Reader market is done, Barnes and Noble your stuff is up dude.

Yes its $499.00 but who cares, you can definitely do more then the Nook, or...

Nook vs Kindle
Isn’t the world of Technology great. Amazon has been setting the world on fire with the Kindle brand. They had the original Kindle then the ultra successful Kindle 2 dropped last year.

Lawsuit Could Pull Nook Out of Production.
Hold the presses, what looked like a sure fire hit for Barnes and Noble a mere two weeks ago, could come tumbling down like a burning bridge on the way to the eReader hall of fame.

So if your like me and cannot sleep, I thought I would post on the new drama between Spring Designs and Barnes and Noble. I am assuming the Spring Designs people knew about the B&N eReader and were just jumping at the bit to sue over the bigger companies announcement, but some things are fishy here. Yes both eReader have dual screens (One and eInk screen and the other a color multitouch), they...
B&N Nook sued over Nook Design.
It’s as If we didn’t see this coming. Barnes and Noble has been sued by a company claiming that the Nook eReader is a copy of its upcoming device. The company in question is Silicon Valley Startup Spring Design. It seems as if the company showed Barnes and Noble execs their eReader design months before the Nook appeared. This explains why Spring Design was quick to launch its website...
