Barnes & Noble Nook EReader in Europe?

vengeance52

Hey all,

I have been looking at ebook readers and the Nook has took my fancy, but it seems to be only on sale in the US.

Is it on sale anywhere in Europe yet, or is there anywhere in US that will ship to Ireland as I like it over the Sony PRS or the Kindle.

You need to do a bit of research. Start here http://www.mobileread.com/forums/.

You should know that the early reviews slated the nook

However, I think its mainly software that needs debugging.

One of the things I like about it is that it runs on android platform and,
apparently a lot of the apps for the android phones will run on it without modification.

There's a lot of info out there about the nook.
Some more here http://www.teleread.com/. Search for nook.

Right now they don't seem to be going after an international market.

I am not sure I would buy it right now.
I would use my friend google a lot before making a decision.

as a cheaper option, ive been looking at Waterstones Ebook Reader.

Looks good value at that price. I didn't see anything about DRM'ed epubs but I didn't look too long.

Actually, it looks like it reads epubs ok.

Good reviews there, cheers. Seems it has a few bugs, but i think most Ereaders have some bugs in them.
