Sue Kimmel replied to Deb Logan's discussion New Nook Simple Readers"Pat, At this point, the Color Nook is far superior for picture books. Additionally, the ability to play an mp3/audiobook might be important for the age group you serve."
Buffy Hamilton replied to Deb Logan's discussion New Nook Simple Readers"Hi Pat!
The picture books/children's Nook Books that are interactive don't function the same on the new Simple Touch like they do on the color. If the target group is younger readers, the color might be a better…"

Is it important for you to be able to download mp3s to the device (as in audiobooks)?
Does the device require…"
Deb Logan replied to Deb Logan's discussion New Nook Simple Readers"Will,
I have some work to do before it is in place, but this device will meet the requirements of our administration. I like it better than the Kindle, because of the touch screen. I think it will be more "intuitive" for…"
Deb Logan replied to Deb Logan's discussion New Nook Simple Readers"Buffy,

Will DeLamater replied to Deb Logan's discussion New Nook Simple Readers"I agree, having seen the device at the store. It's small, like the newest Kindle without the keyboard, and the touch navigation works beautifully. Will love to hear more about your program!"

The new Nook Simple Reader looks like the reader I will use to launch our ebook reader adventure. Pluses: It holds a charge up to 2 months (won't need to check out a cord).It has a touch screen and that will appeal to students.It will hold up to 1,000 titles.It is lightweight.The price is 139.00.While it has WiFi capability, it can only be used to read - no games, no emails, no surfing (this is important to my administration at this time). Each title may be downloaded to 6 devices. See More
