Barnes & Noble is aggressively pursuing a leadership experience in the e-book marketplace, and
they seem well positioned to do so. If the primary purpose of the device is for reading, and if the
user doesn't need much else, this is a great device. It doesn't carry the computing power or the
application variety of a full-featured tablet PC, but it does carry a much lower price tag. The
point here is that each user must define what is important and what is not in their digital devices.
For avid readers, the Nook Color is sure to please. The ability to so easily carry so many volumes
cannot be overstated. The ongoing efforts of Barnes & Noble to continually increase content
availability, especially in newspapers and magazines, will ensure that the experience continues to
impress users.
