But, like others have said, the browser is functional and only that. There are no bells and whistles. It's great for checking e-mail and doing very rudimentary things, like looking up a movie times or checking book reviews on Goodreads/LibraryThing. Doing more advanced things, like browsing forums, typing up responses, etc., is difficult. |
Yep, I've read and sent emails through Gmail on my boyfriend's nook. Not very fast, but it worked. I use the nook's browser for things other people would use a smartphone for, basically. I don't know why Consumer Report's would list email as "not possible," but I did find their nook review to be inaccurate, at least in relation to my own experiences with it. (Which is a shame, since I've trusted CR for years, but they've dropped the ball on a few things lately.)
