Nooks Future?
date
newest »



Bookstores are probably on the way out in general, even without the boom in e-readers. I'm not talking total extinction just yet (because there are enough older people that don't like technology), I'm talking downsizing/finding less stores in the near future. Especially if stores like Target and Wal-Mart expand their offerings.

I wish I knew exactly the formats that my Nook will accept. I know it will take epub and pdf, but what else? Does anyone else know?
Thanks!
Thanks!




I'm sure in future years we'll be seeing a decline in brick and mortar bookstores on the whole, but it will probably be a while and a very gradual process. It'd be a shame to let the Walmarts and Amazon of the world take over, because really nothing is a substitute for a bookstore. There are reasons I'm adamantly against shopping at such places for my books and only patronize bookstores for book buying--gotta support the things you want to stay in business.

Thanks!"
Go to this page, and on the right side about 3/4 of the way down you will see what formats are accepted...

The color is not bright white it is almost like if you are reading off of a book. Not copy paper white, but has a slight gray tint to it. There is no color whatsoever on the screen.
Either way, the Nook is safe.
