Barnes & Noble Nook

Reviews for Nook has been rather damping. Experts said that the product Nook seems more like a rushed product thrown at the consumers.


While Nook boasts of its distinctions from Kindle from Amazon, it seems to be having a lot of problems for their differences.

It's touch screen seems to be lagging half the time, for example, it takes 3 seconds to flip a page, horribly slow as compared to the 1 second Kindle takes.


Nook is also problematic to use and the tools are not exactly very clear to users. It is hard to maneuver around the various applications.

Often, you tap some button on the color strip — and nothing happens. You wait for the Nook to respond, but there’s no progress bar, no hourglass, no indication that the Nook “heard” you. So you tap again — but now you’ve just triggered a second command that you didn’t want.


Now, the Nook may have some hardware advantages — a removable battery, a memory-card slot and (because of narrower plastic margins) a slightly trimmer shape — but the Kindle is still a better machine. It’s faster, thinner, lighter and much easier to figure out. Its battery lasts more than three times as long.
