SJ Chua,

Wish to get ur feedback,
1. Is the anti-glare screen protector work? I mean reduce reflection?

2. How's ur NC battery life?

Thanks.

1. I dunno how is the glare condition without the screen protector. But with my screen protector & I set brightness level to lowest (too bright is very tiring for eyes after long usage)...... The nook color basically has almost no glare indoors. Outdoor under direct sunlight I haven't test yet.

2. With the same brightness setting, CM7 mod, setCPU profiles, wifi on only when used, I can get around almost 9-10 hours battery life as stated by the battery usage stats.
If with heavy surfing or gaming, the battery life is at least 5 hours
Wifi off when unused is very helpful to save battery (significant difference) in fact, dun use task killer, it harms the memory n battery life, just exit wif the back softkey button then enough (tats wat I read from gizmodo/Engadget, I forgot adi =] )

How about ur battery life?

Haven't order my unit yet.

Still shop around ...

Rumors in China website said B&N might announce new NOOK on 24ht May 2011. Not sure NOOK or NOOK COLOR ... so wait till 24th May see what happen.

does any 1 know where can get the nook color's case and screen protector in malaysia? pls give me a pm if know. thx ~

So the latest Nook is not Nook Color replacement after all. Its a Nook Touch which is an e-Ink touch enabled Nook.

Well, if the software in it is customizable like Nook Color then i think it will be Kindle killer.

But then there are rumors about Amazon going to come out with their own Android tablet this coming June/August. Not really their own, but with the help from Samsung.

I guest this year will full of surprise on how table change.

p/s: I wish Nook Color will slash its price when this new Nook launch, well it turns out disappoint me ... guess i have to pay full amount for getting a Nook Color huh ...

IMHO, Nook Color is still cheaper compare to other tablets. And for Android-dev-minded, its already a bonus.

But then again, it depends to your needs. Worth the buy or not.

I used to own Kindle DX and my wife own the Ipad 1.
For me, Nook Color is in between this two.

I would say if you buy in US, yes it is a lot cheaper and value for money compare to other tablets

Else if ship to malaysia it will roughly the same as getting Samsung Galaxy Tab

I wanted Nook Color because of size & andriod OS ...

7" size i think is just nice to carry around

Issit? Mine is still less than 1k but thats becoz I bought the screen protector and case together.

Cheapest can get from forumer here is about rm895 (nook color ONLY, not yet include screen protector & cover), i guess that's include tax and shipping to malaysia.

IMHO, for what it offers, the Nook Color represents a good deal eventhough we have to pay for the postage overseas

Concerning the Nook Library ebooks... if u buy the an ebook by PC how do u get past the US only purchase?

Added on June 11, 2011, 11:19 pmI see, should have used a US for a nook ebook purchase... so my sister has more or less locked her credit to the malaysian address correct?

Interested to buy one soon. Love NC after reading so many positive reviews!

I am flying to US next week, anyone interested to get 1? I am going to get 1 myself. I am selling off my Nook eink for RM500.

Hi friends,

Any workaround? Thanks.

Hi, I just moved to KL from the US last month and would like to sell my new rooted Nook Color (bought in June 2011) for 1000 RM. It comes with the Barnes & Noble cover, anti-glare screen protector kit, plus the 16GB SanDisk micro-SD card (and of course, the charger and usb cable).

Altogether, I paid:$381.95 USD (1146 RM)

Rooted Nook Color + Shipping: $294.96 + $12.50

SanDisk Micro SD Card: $27.59

I just received an IPad as a gift with my name engraved on it, so unfortunately will have to give up my Nook Color!

This Nook Color is in brand-new working condition and has only been used to read 2 books during my flight here to KL. I bought it from a reputable ebay seller, a tech whiz, who takes brand-new Nook Colors, carefully opens them, roots them, and then repackages them for sale (please click on the link above for more information).

It works great as both an Android tablet device and reader- I love the size- fits so neatly into my bag and easy to carry. The colors on the screen are beautiful- definitely beats the Kindle:)

Please feel free to message me for more details, I'm happy to answer any questions.

Hello Nina,

I am a new owner of NC and wants to root it. Hope you don't mind to advise which class of Sandisk micro sd card your NC is using.

Thank you.

Which firmware version of the NC?
I had no problem rooting with Sandisk uSD cards so far

hi nina,
i'm interested. Please PM me.
