The Nook Color has the same capabilities as the normal Nook, except it has color. The price is $249 and will begin to sell on November 26^th. The Nook is trying to be both an E-Reader and allow its readers to have Applications. A new program is called LendMe. It allows a person to lend a e-book to a friend for up to 14 days. It is also being designed for kids. It has special books specifically for children.

The Nook uses Wi-Fi which allows the reader to go online and purchase books. Though Apps have not been added yet, email and an App store will soon be available. It’s primary focus is on, of course, reading. A person who goes into a Barnes and Noble will be able to view any book they want, just like you would be able to do in with real books.

A person if they wanted, would be able to download millions of books and the Nook offers up to 100 different magazines to chose from. A few new things happening on the Nook Color are having to do more with sharing books and having children read too. It heavily focuses on communicating with other people. A program called LendMe allows people to share books with friend, and they can have the book up to 14 days. Another program is for kids. Children are able to read and listen to their favorite books.
