E-Book Ecosystem Should Look to Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| Our friends over at JKOnTheRun, who evaluate a
| whole lot of mobile devices, have pronounced
| that Barnes & Noble's $259 Nook is so good it
| "knocks the Kindle to the curb." It has a 6-
| inch E-Ink screen that is augmented with a
| small color LCD touchscreen at the bottom. The
| Nook has free 3G via AT&T which is used to
| shop for and download books to the reader, and
| it can be synced with other devices. (It does
| not have a browser, though.)

Barnes & Noble's ebook reader takes its bow
,----[ Quote ]
| Like its Amazonian nemesis, the Nook has a
| built-in cellular wireless connection for
| downloading texts. AT&T is the carrier (the
| Kindle uses Sprint). But there's also a built-
| in WiFi adapter, giving you free access the
| AT&T-powered hotspots in Barnes&Noble retail
| stores.
