Video review reader Barnes & Noble Nook Color
Hello,
Last week, we already talked about a reader on Android, and today we’ll talk about a device from another manufacturer. Barnes & Noble is widely known in the United States of America as a major book retailer. But we live in the era of electronic media and every day fewer and fewer people around the world buy paper books. Keeping up with the general trend, Barnes & Noble launches the first two-screen reader called Nook . The reader is running Android and immediately finds its fans. After the success of Nook, the company releases another interesting product - Nook Color , which will be discussed in today's review:
Nook Color is a little more than just a reader, even in stock functionality it can be used as an internet tablet, media player or educational toy for children. The device has a seven-inch color TFT display and supports multitouch.

Detailed characteristics of Barnes & Noble Nook Color:
In addition, the developers have paid great attention to ergonomics and design of the case, while leaving only one button Home for example iPad. The remaining buttons are displayed at the bottom of the screen during work.
Like its predecessor, the Nook Color is running Android , but after the changes that were made by the developers of Barnes & Noble , it is almost unrecognizable. There are no main Google services in the stock firmware (Google Market, GMail, YouTube), but after getting Root access you can easily add them. Some craftsmen even installed Android 2.3 and Android Honeycomb on the reader, turning it into a good tablet. But we will try to tell you about the “dark side” of the Nook in more detail in the next review.
