Nook Touch :)

Ever heard of this thing before? If not, then it's time to crawl out from under whatever hole you've been hiding in. (No - by the way - I am not talking about the Nook Color!) The Barnes And Noble Nook is the Amazon Kindle's biggest competitor! But what many people don't know about the nook is that it operates off of the Android OS. The current Android OS version is: 1.0.1.0
The Nook Touch isn't like your typical Android device, though. And, although it is still touchscreen, it is a very dumbed-down version of the Android OS.
It does, however, feature social updating features. Such as Facebook, Twitter, as well as its own site called NookFriends. Which can only be accessed through the Nook. NooFriends allows you to lend books, request for people to lend you books, and recommend books to friends. You can also use it to share status updates, quotes, and your reading statues in your books. As well as ratings!
For the first time since the release of the Amazon Kindle, the Nook is in the lead when it comes to the e-reader market. I've had my Nook Touch since it was first released. However, the Nook Touch that I originally received turned out to be a factory defect, and I had to have it replaced. Other than that detail, I wiuld reccommend the Barnes And Noble's Nook Touch to everybody on this planet!
