Barnes & Noble NookColor Update & Giveaway

by 869 Comments

NookColor has 1.2 reasons to be celebrating. NOOKColor has an awesome update making the NookColor the most bang for your buck when it comes to an e-reader, and not just any e-reader it’s a color e-reader. When you upgrade to  Nook 1.2 you will be amazed at all of the new features as all of the sudden you have a tablet. I was amazed when I found out about all of the new features. The NookColor has more tablet capabilities like full integration with e-mail. I have a very bad habit of checking my e-mail before I start reading my book.

So I’m not entirely sure that full-featured email is such a good thing. But who am I kidding right, not everyone has my email addiction.

I DO LOVE playing games: like Angry Birds, Uno, Solitaire, and Bubble popper.

But more than games this new update transforms your ereader into a tablet. Using it as an educational device for my kids has been it’s most appealing feature in our house. I mean the kids claimed it as their own from day one. So I’m really excited that the Read and Play feature has grown, with authors like Sandra Boynton and Dr. Seuss. Then there are quite a few educational apps for older kids and adults too, from learning a new language to improving your math skills.

Another really cool feature is the enhancements in web browsing; shopping, global searches and animated content. The Nook Color supports Adobe Flash Player allowing you to watch in-page videos. It’s really cool!

Give a Unique, Personal Gift From 365Canvas This Year

Thank you to 365Canvas for sponsoring this post! I’ve always been a big fan of canvas printing. I think it’s such an artistic, beautiful way to display favorite photos.
