My next question is, will Nook Color let you compose and send email or only view? |

I've read articles saying the color Nook is not a true e-reader because it doesn't use e-ink technology and other articles saying it's not a true tablet either because it lacks full functionality. So B&N has created something in between that in the long run won't satisfy either consumer. In the short run, I think they'll sell quite a few though.

Nook Color hits a sweet spot and is designed for the masses. In the meantime, there's nothing keeping the eInk crowd from their Nooks and Kindles. |

So why do you buy in to the propaganda in those articles. What do you think? |

Keep in mind that LCD-based ebook readers have, in fact, been around for some time. This really isn't something new.
But again, the questions that a potential customer really are going to ask are: • Is color and animation worth $100 extra and 1/10 (or less) the battery power compared to eInk? • Should I spend $250 on a Nook Color, or $300 on an Android tablet with the same screen and can run the Nook and Kindle and Kobo ebook software, plus email, games, and so forth? • Should I spend $500 for a 10" tablet, with a bigger screen and more apps? I don't think it is clear at all whether this will be a win for B&N. |

For those confused about what the new Nook Color can and cannot do...
Quote:
http://gizmodo.com/5675881/the-nook-...han-we-thought 'Barnes & Noble is going to run their own app store for the Nook Color, distributing and selling applications. It's a "curated" experience, meaning they'll have to approve apps for the store, which developers can start submitting in "early 2011," with apps approved "within weeks" of submission. So the apps that we saw at the launch, like Pandora, is all that'll be available for a couple of months. ' So basically it is being released as a sort of 'confused device' (my term) and the only way the consumer will be able to judge his/her Nook Color experience is 12 months down the road when the B&N App Store infrastructure works for the individual Nook Color owner, or does not work. Then you will know if your Nook Color purchase was golden, or a turkey. |

The book business is transforming from paper to e quickly. B&N is facing a formidable competitor in Amazon and an incredible destructive force in tablets (iPad/Android). If B&N makes a critical mistake at this stage, it's going to be fatal. 12 months sounds rights to judge if Nook Color is a brilliant move or a suicidal one. |
