Title: Barnes & Noble NOOK tablet goes independent .. Post by Oldfeller on 06/25/14 at 10:12:09 http://liliputing.com/2014/06/barnes-noble-spin-nook-division-separate-company.html :-? ...... and guess what happens like a year after that divestment happens ..... Seriously, Barnes and Noble was always reacting to Amazon's moves, but like part of a year behind at best. The third year in, the Barnes and Noble NOOK tablet was not really even up to snuff as a then current cheap tablet, much less as a premium services provider type machine. Now, having been clued by the main office as to what their end game is to be, I would simply avoid buying a NOOK totally in the future as the "premium services" are going to get real iffy as Barnes and Noble brand begins their slow fold up to much fewer & lots smaller brick and mortar stores situated only in malls, etc. |

To me its worth it though...I read a lot and watch about 4 movies a month. So it actually does pay for itself, I suppose I could do the "red machines" at the stores, but I would be without my free "prime" book choices. |
Title: Re: Barnes & Noble NOOK tablet goes independent .. Post by MnSpring on 06/26/14 at 16:13:03 Bought a, ’NOOK”, about 6 years ago. Turned OFF, the, ‘Wi-Fi”. Went to the Net, downloaded ‘free’ books. On my computer, Then, load them from the computer to the Nook. (Their are about 3 MILLION, where the Copyright has expired, All ‘Classics’). Also, if you have a Local Library card. (If not get one, it’s free), You can check out library E-books, just like when you go to the Library. (Here it is 3 books at one time) And their is a 2 week, ‘check out’. BUT, because I down load them on the computer, then load them on the Nook. And because I am NOT connected, to the internet on the Nook.. They, Stay, on the Nook, Until I connect the Nook to the computer, Then if overdue, they are ‘returned’. So If it takes more than 2 weeks to read 3 books, fine. I could take 3 months to read them, as long as I don’t connect to the computer/internet. Takes a little more time to do. But the 100 + books I have on that little thing, are all, FREE. I have the ‘cheep’ one, No backlight. But not problems reading it, as long as their is some light to see the screen. |
