Can passages be highlighted and can you write notes while using the Nook? Am looking at getting one for studying.

Travis, Yes, you can. However, I think a tablet is better for taking notes and studying. The Barnes and Noble Android app also allows highlighting and taking notes and it's easier if you plan on doing a lot of studying. I have used my Nook to read study material as it's easier to carry around than a tablet, but for highlighting and note taking, it's not as efficient. It's more suited to the occasional note taking than for serious note taking during study.

Yes I does,(I have an older Nook) But buy a Kindle its a much better deal and has terrific support system. Make sure you get one with a replaceable battery too! Or you are out 250 bucks in 2 years or less!

Hi Alameda Mom, I purchased the Intocircuit T5000 as a gift for a friend. She said she has used it on her Kindle, even while reading and it works fine. She also said it has the connectors to work with the Nook Color. Hope this helps.

I found the NOOK HD + easy to use in the glare. As a reader, it performs well.

The space is usable for whatever you want to add: books, movies, music, etc. Unlike the iPad though, the Nook has a microSD slot, which you can pop a 32gb card in for < $20.

In my opinion, yes. The included pen is very responsive to the tablet's screen. You also have access to many different note-taking apps on the Play Store. If you have excellent handwriting, by all means, go digital!

The memo can be added to the main screen and I use it constantly. It appears a a little "sticky note" that you can enlarge to put notes on. Once you're done with your notes it will shrink back down. Also, I have 4 alarms active on mine, not sure if you can have more than 4 at a time as I haven't tried it yet.

You might want to take a chance on the Nook with Glowlight. It's not that expensive and it's a nice little device. The light makes a tremendous difference. I know there have been some negative reviews, but I have one and love it. It's much better than the clip on lights that are sold for unlighted e-readers. I just wanted a simple e-reader as well and I got one with a light. So I'm happy. The big difference is that you will need to buy books from B and N now, not Amazon. Remember, there will always be bad reviews when someone is dissatisfied; satisfied customers don't review as frequently. The worst that can happen is that you try it for the period that B and N allows for returns and don't like it: return it. Hope you find something you like.

Dear Michelle, I finally got my Nook for Christmas. Not without some extra taxes I had to pay in the border, but anyway, finally here. I think that for reading novels in Catalan it's perfect really. The contrast of the screen depends much on the light you put in, but if the light is totally white, the constrast is very good!!! I'm pretty happy with the Nook, even if I cannot purchase directly any book because I don't have US billing address. The only little problem I found when reading for long time, is that because of the outside plastic it gets stuck on the hand and I have to change the position of reading every 15-20 minuts. I suppose once I get the cover I asked, I could handle in another way and the problem won't come back. One very bad experience!! I purchased the cover on Barnes&Noble and because is going to Europe you cannot track it. The point is that after more than one month it has not arrived yet!! But the worse is that the 2 times I send a mail to B&N they automatically resent me a mail forwarding me to the help system!!! I finally sent another e-mail to the company external of B&N that produces the covers for them and I didn't get any answer yet!! So I finally purchased it on Amazon. By the way I also bought a Kindle and it's supposed to arrive in a couple days. I bought it for the textbooks for my studies. Give me some feedback!!! Take care. Xavi

Yes. I actually use the Nook app in the tablet to read my e-books (even though I don't own any B&N books), reads my EPUB books perfectly and I like its internal (i.e. not online) dictionary. I think it has the Kindle app pre-installed but I haven't used it.

I find the screen is too wide to read a novel comfortably while docked. You could pop out the tablet from the dock and read vertically, but after awhile it becomes a bit heavy. Where I do use the Kindle app on the Android OS is with recipes. The presentation is crisp and the images render beautifully. Because tablet mode is Android only, you won't be able to use the Windows version of the Kindle app.

while I don't own this specific model, as far as I can tell it all depends on the programs you own, i myself use Microsoft One Note which works flawlessly with the tablet. The major issue with getting this computer is if you have an actual use for the touch screen. I'm learning a new language and the writing is simplified with the use of a tablet, It makes learning the new language several times easier. a) On the touch screens I've used, No you don't need alot of pressure. b) With good programs you can leave the handwriting as your own and read it digitally. Otherwise, It is a software limitation to recognize your handwriting and convert it into printed font. c) Again, Software issue, With One Note it is as simple as selecting the eraser and erasing. d) Well, its quite different, the feel is different on its on, you don't have the adhesion you want, and in certain cases, if you have "lag" your writing comes up after you actually passed the area (a slight delay when the writing actually shows up.) Well it is a lot easier to erase, and you dont have any eraser left overs after erasing. Hope it helps "Bones"

I don't know if the Kindle has the same connector as the Nook. I hope someone else is able to answer your question!

I agree, this is SO much better than the Tab (I had a 2/7). I can't speak to the current Tab but the difference in battery life is remarkable and the S-Pen is terrific. If you want something for productivity as well as fun, go for the Note! I use my Note all the time, particularly for marking up PDFs.

You can but unwound prefer the Adonit Jot Touch 4 for that type of activity, I have found this one is best suited to note taking

I have not yet obtained the Nook Color yet. I plan to get one soon. I will reply thereafter.

Onenote, Some Lenovo apps(Support, Kindle, Settings, Quicksnip, app shop, system update), Lenovo driver settings, all the basic windows 8 software, skype, Free trial to office, Evernote free trial(Onenote is far better due to offline availability), and I could go on it's a pretty neat package but there's A LOT of free stuff on the store with upgradability that's well worth it. If you're into sketching I highly recommend getting sketchbook express the stylus that comes with it works well with SE. Also if you do plan to get the tablet make sure to update everything drivers, intel graphics accelerator, and the apps before you go to windows 8.1. It will make your experience with it a whole helluva lot better. Cheers!
