Barnes & Noble Nook released

Comments

• Do Barnes & Noble have any UK presence? I hope they do, because this device is absolutely top of my wanted list now, when it comes to eBook Readers. Posted by plkrtn, UK
• You seem to be about the only site that has asked the international question. Were they like 'We are looking at the possibility of going international' (determined and assertive) or 'We might do international' (flaky and confused). Posted by Alain Delon, France
• Waiting for it to come to the uk. would like to look at one. Think it might feature on my wanted list too Posted by Alan, UK
• They seemed positive, but not to the point of giving a timeframe. I got the feeling that they need to concentrate on their home market first. Hope that helps Posted by stuartmiles, United Kingdom
• Will certainly be interested when they also have a Symbian/Nokia version of the software too so I can read my books on my phone when the nook is just too much to carry :-)
  
  Looks great, love the idea that it's an MP3 player as well, and just waiting for B&N to figure out how to do international data roaming as that would be the moment it turns from a "ooh shiny" to a "it must be mine!" Posted by The Magician, United Kingdom
• As it runs on the same AT&T network as the Kindle i would expect the international offering to be the same, if the company doesn't opt for a local carrier deal Posted by stuartmiles, United Kingdom
• The Nook looks like a great reader, but it's so unfortunate that it isn't offered internationally. I know it has to do with copyright laws and taxes and such, but it shouldn't be that hard to offer it to at leats Canada. I've been waiting for a reader for an extremely long time and no has one that offers to Canada even the new international Kindle cannot be shipped to Canada, a fully developed country that borders the US. I live very close to the border yet I can't use an ebook reader of any kind because I'm not on the other side of that border and it's so frustrating !!
  No one even cares to realize that if any of these ereaders were available to all the developed countries( at the very least) then these companies would make a hecj of a lot more money than they already do... it's just too frustrating to sit here and read about all the great new technologies that are coming out yet not be able to use them because you're not in the US.
