note Taking on the Nook
Can the Nook take Notes which can be copied to a PC ? It has a soft keyboard, so I am hoping so.
Also, my Kindle could highlight passages and clip them to a "My Clippings" file. This could then be dragged to a PCs also. Can the Nook do this. Many thanks for any help. Hal. |

You can place "notes" in a book, but there is no notepad application. They keyboard isn't as nice as the iPhone, but it's pretty good.
I made a suggestion in the B&N forum that they add a simple notepad application so people could keep longer notes, lists or even a journal. I have my fingers crossed, but they have a lot to fix before they add features. |

I have problems with mine. I can write a note, but once I enter it, I can never find it again. In addition, note taking and highlighting (which also doesn't seem to work for me) are much more laborious than they are on a Kindle.
I've heard a rumor that another software upgrade is coming soon. I hope it will fix those problems. |

Cippings ??
Can clippings of books and articles be taken and copied to your desktop, like the Kindle can in a text format. I know that the PocketBooks can do this, and the Sony 600 (in a fashion - it puts each clipping to a separate file).
Many thanks for your help. Hal. |

SLIGHTLY ALERT! One of the major improvements of the 1.2.0 update is that the Nook no longer loses my place when I switch between books!!! It's getting there. Slowly. Last edited by WT Sharpe; 02-15-2010 at 09:42 PM. |

If you are a note-taker, often highlighting and scribbling notes in book margins then you will be sorely disappointed with the basic Nook. To use notes and highlighting effectively do the following:
1. have paper and pencil handy 2. add a note or highlighting to your Nook E-book 3. write down book name and page number on the paper 4. don't lose paper ...which sort of defeats the purpose. This is easily fixed via update. B&N simply chooses not to do it. I would have preferred this fix rather than the faster page update if push came to shove and they could only do one. For this I will vote with my feet and go to another e-reader but I haven't quite decided which. I looked at the PanDigital Novel but it works with B&N and I'm done with them...would prefer Amazon. I would get a basic Kindle but the physical keyboard subtracts from screen real estate. Don't need 3-4G, just wi-fi. Any suggestiions? Anyone? |

Get a Sony. One of the new models. You can get your epub books from other places besides the Sony store.

Perhaps when their app store opens, someone will write an app for that; but if B&N's promise of an app store is anything like Amazon's promise of an app store for the Kindle, I wouldn't hold my breath. I believe Amazon's been promising an app store for about a year now. Last edited by WT Sharpe; 12-25-2010 at 03:19 PM. |

I think the app store is a cop-out. This is just an e-reader...they aren't becoming facebook. The idea seems trendy at the moment but I doubt it will fly. They also have an obligation to thoroughly test it lest it bring down the device. I develop software and it's all sounds easier than it is. I'd imagine that they have some big platofrm challenges in presenting a robust plugin interface that is both performant and safe. I hardly want the proverbial "blue screen" on my nook...though it would not be blue...LOL! |
