The best way to browse ebooks on the Nook is to choose to show covers on the LCD screen. The ability to change font type is an advanced feature that many other ereaders don't have. The three font types are Helvetica Neue, Amasis, and Light Classic, the latter two are serif fonts and the first sans serif. Pictures are surprisingly detailed with the 16 shades of gray.Īs shown in the video, there are 5 adjustable font sizes, and 3 font types.

The text is dark and defined, and the background color appears slightly whiter than other ereaders. The Nook's E Ink display is its strongest point. The hardware and design are good the software needs to catch up.

The Nook has some software issues that need to be worked out, but overall it's an ebook reader designed to read ebooks, and for doing that it does its job-just don't expect to be blown away by it user-interface and features. The Barnes and Noble Nook has received its fair share of negative reviews, and if you jump to the second page of this review you might think this is another negative review too, but for the most part it's not. Update: The Nook has had a number of firmware updates since this review was written so make sure to check this updated Nook Review for a more accurate review of the latest features and improvements.
