This is awesome. I'm always interested with e-book reader devices but could not get a good solid reason to purchase any due to the availabilities of tablet devices like Ipad, Galaxy Tab etc.
The fact that, better reading experience with E-Ink technology is still not enough. LOL. Maybe Nook Color will change that but with a challenge; rooting it. Thanks stringfellow for the review. |

Read your tweets that you had convinced 4 ppl(if I'm not mistaken) to buy Nook Color yesterday.
I would love to go to MV to meet you up later but my car would be stuck at the "open air" parking here in Damansara Heights. Maybe some other time. I'm not in the rush to purchase any. Added on January 3, 2011, 8:42 amSay stringfellow, how is the backlight? Since you're shifted from Kindle to Nook Color. It's already two different devices.

Nook Color gets overclocked, further blurs the line between tablet and e-reader - Engadget
QUOTE  First, they ported Ubuntu to the Nook Color, and now the intrepid hackers at the XDA Developers Forum have overclocked its stock 800MHz processor to run at speeds up to 1GHz. The mod allows users to have their cake and eat it too, as the custom kernel ups the speed of the CPU while running it at a lower voltage, which means longer battery life -- though we don't know exactly how much longer. Apparently, the developer who wrote the code found that the system became unstable at the 1GHz level, but there were no such problems at 950MHz and below. SOURCE |

QUOTE(dh3x @ Mar 1 2011, 11:43 AM) How to use Vpost? Is it www.vpostasia.com ? Any taxes applicable for this Nook Color? https://www.vpostasia.com/malaysia/ Didnt see any tax. Just straight forward conversian for the USD249 pricetag. Then shipping fees from VPostUSA. |

QUOTE(deadfish @ Mar 9 2011, 11:31 AM) Thanks a bunch dude, The NookColor costs me about RM780.96 (USD249).BTW how much did it cost you? I mean with US sales tax and what not... I bought the NC together with Leather Writer's Cover+screen protector (RM178.46 (USD56.90)). So they summed the shipping fees together; RM197.33 (Sing$81.74). Overall I've paid RM1156.75. Still cheaper compare to IPMart.com's device only plus shipping; RM1076.30. |

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

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. |
