Welcome
This blog is all about news about the Barnes and Noble E-Reader Nook. I first saw the announcement of the new E-Book reader on the news site Digg.com. I have always been intrigued about new and exciting technologies, the Amazon Kindle is a great product that pretty much the pioneer in the E-Reader section. What Barnes and Noble is hoping to do is innovate in the industry for which Amazon is right now the lead dog. B&N has teamed with AT&T to offer 3G connectivity to buy books over the wireless airwaves. They aim to make most titles available for $9.99 or less and some are free.
The Nook runs the mobile operating system Android that was developed by Google. This is the first such device of its kind to come with Android as its engine. So far the only other offerings of the Android operating system are Mobile Smart phones from companies such as HTC and Motorola.
Months ago B&N offered a Free E-Reader application for the Apple iPhone platform. It is a pretty good application and I was curious as to when B&N would jump into the E-Book reader business. Now is the time.
I hope to obtain a Nook to review in the coming weeks. The device itself is due to launch sometime by the end of the month of November. Check back to this site or follow me on twitter @hookedonnook.
