Barnes & Noble Nook Color review
"... it's not as good as E-Ink and Barnes & Noble has by no means eliminated the concept of glare on an LCD ..." |
hmmm I find it funny you left this part out of the review which by the way is actually PC World's review in which they gave it an overall favorable review.
After reading content on the Nook Color for extended periods, I found that the device takes the concept of an e-reader to another level. The NookColor's display and its intuitive interface form an extraordinary one-two punch. The display employs an in-plane switching (IPS) panel, just as the iPad does, to provide a wider viewing angle and better colour reproduction than standard TN LCDs. And like the iPad, it supports 16 million colours
