The Nook e-Reader -- WiFi and 3G

WiFi Vs 3G?  Personally, I prefer WiFi. I have WiFi in my home, and almost everywhere I would go in public has WiFi. Advantage to 3G?  Your Nook will can connect virutally anywhere; anywhere there is a 3G cellular network.  No monthly charge for this. 3G will free you from the limits of having to be in a WiFi zone. Personally, I am always in a WiFi zone, so for me there was no point in spending the extra 50 bucks for the 3G

Either way, the following features are found on both WiFi and 3G Nooks:

Over 2 million books — download wirelessly in seconds

Reads like paper with crisp, clear text

Extra-long battery life, read for days

Exclusive LendMe™ lets you share reading with friends

Just-Like-Paper Reading Experience

NOOK's best-in-class E Ink® display is easy on the eyes, with text as crisp and clear as a printed page. The 16-level gray scale display offers great contrast with no glare or backlight so you can read with ease, even in bright sunlight.

Over 2 Million Titles — Just a Touch Away

Browse and buy from our extensive collection of over 2 million books, including more than a million free titles and most books priced at $9.99 or less. All books can be sampled for free and then downloaded wirelessly, just seconds after you buy.

With 2GB of memory, NOOK stores up to 1,500 books, magazines and newspapers. Need even more space? Just slip in a memory card. It's an entire library light enough to take with you everywhere, so you'll never be without your favorites.

Read for Days

Reading a book you just can't put down? With NOOK's extra-long battery life, you won't have to. NOOK lets you read for up to 10 days, without ever having to re-charge. So grab that 800-page book you've been daring to take on - with NOOK you've got the power.

NEW! Stay in Sync Across Multiple Devices

Automatically sync the last page you read on your NOOK or NOOK app with another. For instance, if you stop reading on a certain page on your NOOK, you'll automatically open to the same exact place on your iPad, iPhone or Android-based smartphone using our FREE NOOK apps.

NEW! Stay Organized with "My Shelves"

Create, name and organize shelves in "My B&N Library" and "My Documents" in "My Shelves". For instance, you can put all your cookbooks on one shelf, all your spy novels on another shelf, for quick and easy access.



NEW! Password Protect Your NOOK

Your NOOK can now be secured in two ways to prevent unauthorized use. First – you can set up your NOOK to lock when it goes into sleep mode, then unlock it with a pass code. Second – you can require a password to purchase content, so others using your NOOK cannot buy anything without your permission.

Exclusive LendMe™ Technology

NOOK's exclusive LendMe™ technology lets you share favorite books with friends. LendMe™ books can be lent for up to 14 days. Just choose the book you want to share and send it to your friend's NOOK, computer, or handheld device enabled with NOOK software.

Easy-To-Use Color Navigation Panel

NOOK's color touch navigation panel makes using your NOOK intuitive and simple. Created to work seamlessly with the E Ink® display, you can browse the colorful book covers, then select and shop for books quickly and easily . Use your finger to swipe through titles and tap open your next read.

Built-In Merriam-Webster Collegiate® Dictionary

NOOK lets you highlight any word from the book you are reading and look it up instantly in its built-in dictionary. Thinking about another word you may have come across? Just type it in and look it up. It's the definition of convenience!
