    Is the Nook Officially a Tablet?

    The NookDevs just got a full web browser up and running on the Nook, alongside Android Twitter/Facebook apps. At what point does the Nook cease to be an eBook reader and start to be something more? [Twitter via Android Guys]

    Amazon Has the Kindle and Barnes & Noble the Nook...So What About Borders?

    We've all heard about the Kindle. And most of us know about the Nook. And while Borders is not selling a dedicated eBook reader of their own, they have just doubled down on digital distribution. More »

    Ravaging the Nook, Part II: We Have Apps!

    For the B&N Nook to be rooted—that is, broken open and readied for software modification—is one thing, but the real reason people are excited about hacking this ereader is obvious: they want apps. And apps they will have. More »

    Ravaging the Nook: a Teardown, a Spec List and Android Hacks

    Let's face it, nobody was too upset by the opaqueness of the Nook's spec sheet—screens and software, not board-level componentry, are what make ereaders great. But with this teardown comes something glorious: the Nook's Android software has been hacked. More »

    Spring Design's Injunction to Stop Barnes & Noble's Nook Sales Denied

    While waiting for a court date over an intellectual property dispute, Spring Design wanted to stop Barnes & Noble from selling the Nook. Their injunction for that's been denied today, but they shouldn't really worry much over that anyway. More »

    Barnes & Noble Ruins Nerd Christmas (For Good PR)

    Nobody has any idea if the Nook is actually any good yet, but no matter: It's a well-placed holiday gift, in theory! Or at least it was, until Barnes & Noble ran out of them. More »

    Will eReaders Really Become Gaming Devices?

    eReaders are getting powerful enough to become fully-fledged Internet tablets, but gaming devices? That's a new spin. Turns out Qualcomm has a detachable game controller add-on for that Snapdragon-powered eReader prototype we first showed you on Wednesday. Take a look: More »

    Qualcomm Ebook Display Ups the Ante with Full Color and Video

    Qualcomm has developed a 5.7-inch (1,024x768) display for ebook readers that not only renders color and video; it does so with enough power efficiency to challenge a black and white, still-frame Kindle. More »

    Barnes & Noble's Nook May Violate Spring Design's Alex Reader Intellectual Property

    Spring Design's Alex reader seemed very similar to Barnes & Noble's Nook. I thought that Spring Design was the copycat, but based on the lawsuit they filed for violation of intellectual property, it may be the other way around. More »

    Plastic Logic Que Is Going to Nuzzle Nook in Barnes & Noble Stores (And Why You Care)

    I asked at the announcement if the Nook would get exclusive perks over other Barnes & Noble readers, like Plastic Logic's Que. Shelf space ain't one of them, since Que will cozy up with Nook in B&N stores next year. More »
