No apps or app store yet
Relatively heavy
Screen smudges easily
No pinch to zoom in web browser

Zooming in and out of web pages and magazines using multi-touch gestures is clunky

Sluggish User Interface that needs an upgrade

Poor video quality on the web
Reflective screen is not as easy to read outside
Newspapers still don't read that well

No 3G option
Some lag when turning magazine pages and zooming in and out
Battery life isn’t as long as on most monochrome ereaders
A bit on the heavy side
Very limited amounts of Extras available so far and no access to Android Marketplace yet.

Abstract: Jason previewed Barnes & Noble's NOOK Color here a few months ago, but we haven't done a formal hands on review. Until now. Although it's not officially available in the Great White North, thanks to e-Bay I was able to buy one of these color LCD touchs...

Barnes and Noble gambled everything they have on the Nook Color and it is a vastly superior experience compared to the Kindle 3. Periodicals, illustrated children's books, and magazines look phenomenal and the web browser is quite usable. The ability ...

Abstract: Video Review: The Barnes & Noble NOOKcolor blurs the line between eReader and tablet with a 7" full color touch screen, Android 2.1 OS, web surfing, music streaming, games and over 2 million titles to read. Kevin Pereira and Candace Bailey review the $...
Abstract: Hardware If I were forced to sum up the hardware of the Nook Color in one word, it would be solid. The device obviously had a lot of industrial design behind it, and you can feel that it is a quality product. Compared to tablets from the likes of Archo...
Abstract: The old forms of media have seen better days. Newspapers are losing subscribers daily to internet blogs and internet media that provide up to the minute information impossible to be delivered in the classic format. No longer do people need to wait ...
Abstract: If you have been following along here at Gear Diary you probably have seen Carly’s review of the NOOKColor. The NOOKColor was noted as Barnes and Noble number one seller for the holiday season and it’s pretty easy to understand why. I am not really a...
Abstract: The power of a first impression The current obsession with product packaging in the blogosphere can sometimes (okay, many times) border on the pathetic. But there is a reasonable assumption behind all the geek package porn: any company that cares eno...

The Barnes & Noble Nook Color may not be the first e-reader with a full color touchscreen, but it’s definitely the best color e-reader option available on the market today. Its interface is quite polished for a first run, and that combined with B&N’s m...
