Extra Wide Viewing Angle

You love reading on your own, but there are times when it's fun to gather around and share a story together. NOOKcolor's IPS display delivers an extra wide viewing angle of 178°, so you can view the screen from almost any angle you want. This special design reduces glare and provides optimum brightness for enjoyable reading indoors or outside.

 

 

 

 

 

Portrait or Landscape Views
