Homework Due Monday, 10/26 - Read/Watch This, Then Respond

What do you think of Nook, the new e-reader from Barnes and Noble?




Check out this article/review from engadget and post your thoughts in the comments below; specifically:

  • Would you use an eReader? Why or why not?
  • How does this change things? or book publishers, sellers, writers, and readers?
  • Have you heard of or seen other e-book readers like the Amazon Kindle? How does the Nook seem to compare?

  1. I don't use an e-reader. Mostly because I have not really heard much about it. It lets people get books in a more convenient manner. It should not affect writers or publishers to much. But it could take some money away from the sellers and draw people into reading more sense they don't have to make a trip to the book store. No I have never heard anything about the Amazon Kindle outside of class.

  2. I don't think i would use e-reader. i am not familiar with it and i am new to cyberspace so i'll just take it slow for now.
    it would change things because you wouldn't have to visit book stores and libraries as much. the stores would lose money
    i have not seen or heard of any other e-reader
