Prone to dropping your electronics? Watch this pair of awkwardly dressed tech journalists dropping tablets onto concrete. Yes, it’s annoying. Yes, it’s waste. No, it’s not actually journalism. But it does turn out that the Nook Tablet is best if you’re a klutz.
Who would have predicted that Barnes and Noble’s new Nook Tablet would be rooted? Oh, everyone? Well, it still happened, and that’s good news for modders who are looking forward to hacking the bejeezus out of these low-cost tablets.
It’s been a year since Barnes & Noble’s Nook colour first hit store shelves. But the biggest question about the Nook Tablet isn’t if it’s better than its predecessor. It’s how it holds up against some very convincing competition.
The details of the next Nook have been leaked and SlashGear got em. With the Barnes & Noble event scheduled for the 7th, the timing seems about right.
Looks like Amazon and Barnes & Noble are finally bending to Apple’s new rules regarding in-app purchases. Both the Kindle and Nook apps have been quietly updated to remove the links to their respective ebookstores.
For those who’ve considered abandoning their first-generation Kindle or bit of Sony ebook awkwardness, Barnes & Noble just sweetened the pot. The book and Nook seller is offering 30 free Nook books when you exchange your old ebook reader for a Nook.
