[/caption]Barnes & Noble announced their new Nook with color display today in one of their Manhatten stores, as USA today reports. The electronic reading devices, which run on the Android platform, costs $249 and will be available on November 19 and Barnes & Noble is already accepting orders for the color nook.
The device has a 7-inch touch screen and weighs less then one pound. The 8 GB internal memory is enough to store 6,000 books.
One of the features that really stands out is the nook's ability to read books out loud.
The biggest competitor of the B&N nook used to be the Amazon kindle. The kindle is only available in black and white. With adding color to the screen, other devices are now also direct competitors of the nook, namely the Apple iPad.
While the nook has some functionality that resembles that of the iPad, it looks like the nook is more an e-reader then a computer. The nook has WiFi access and you can run apps on it. The nook also let's you play music and games. But playing games with an e-reader is probably a rather slow adventure.
