Nook Ereader Light

Does the Barnes And Noble Nook ereader have a backlight?

I am considering the Nook ereader and it says it displays very well in sunlight but what about if you are reading it at night? Does it have a back lightl can you see the screen by small lamp light? or having 1 light on in the car reading at night? Is it easy to read the font or hard on your eyes? Is it worth the amount of money it is? Is there a better one out there than it? please respond below and add any other comments you have about it. thanks.

No, it doesn't have backlight. Actually it is better for reading.

Not sure if it helps, but I own the Kindle 2. If you ask me to choose again now, I'll still go for the Kindle instead of the Nook, because I think the web browsing function is rather important (the Nook doesn't even have a web browser). The free internet (and now it is free international internet) plus the web browser allow me to look for information whenever I'm in need. It is really a cool feature that cannot be missed. And right now it is free for both the U.S. and many other countries, it is just incredible when you bring it to trip.

And indeed, the Kindle has more available books, and ebooks are cheaper on the Kindle as well (Barnes and Nobles always count in the one million free books from Google, which can also be read on the Kindle. For Sony, many users complain it is difficult to find books for it).

And I remember I read these reviews when I decided to get my Kindle:

You can get a light like this if you want to read at night:

Hope it helps

Ebook readers are portable reading devices that allow you to carry almost all of your books at one go. What this means is that you won’t ever have to carry bulky paperbacks whenever you are on the move, nor will long trips away from your home will be boring and devoid of any entertainment. There are a slew of sleek ebook readers doing the rounds in the market right now with each one of them offering an array of user oriented features. Not all of them are made equal and not all of them offer its users the same convenience. However, there are some areas where all of these Electronic Readers can be considered to be on the same footing. Presented here are 5 such features that can be considered enticing enough for you to buy one.

1. They are light – which means they are easy to carry as their weight can be even less than a regular paperback. For instance, the cheap Kindle 2 ebook reader tips the scale at just about one pound. And you have hours of entertainment anytime you need them. They can carry hundreds of books, more of them if added memory is taken into account. So if you are used to carrying 3-4 paperbacks whenever you travel, an ebook reader might be just what you need. You will have at your fingertips, a constant supply of reading material whenever you need them.

2. Variable font size – which is what most of the leading models will allow you to do as per your requirement. This is one thing that you won’t ever be able to do with a real book and is something that will be appreciated the most by those who are past their prime.

3. E-ink technology – ebook readers like the Barnes and Noble Nook sport this technology and you really have to see it to believe it. In fact it looks just like paper in real life and its resemblance with a real book is as close as you might ever have thought. There is no chance for your eyes to get strained and there is a world of a difference when compared to reading from a laptop or even a palmtop since with these, the flicker and the back light of the display can tire your eyes after 30 minutes.

4. Battery life – these devices are amazingly efficient as they can continue operating up to about two weeks on a single charge under normal operating condition. This is made possible by the revolutionary e-ink technology as per which, an ebook reader display that is using this technology will draw current only when the page is flipped. So no matter how long you are viewing the same page, no amount of current is drawn from the battery. It is only when you flip a page that a small current is drawn and that too for a fraction of a second.

5. Multiple Formats – all the leading ebook readers support multiple file formats, which means you will always have all the books that you need. No matter where you intent to acquire your ebooks, you can be pretty sure your ebook reader will support the particular format. Some of the ebook readers also support PDF file, which is good news for students or business professionals.

So, if you find the above facts fascinating enough and feel like acquiring this wonderful piece of equipment, you have a wide range of models and make to make your choice from. Like there’s the Barnes and Noble Nook that ships for around $300. Or if you’d like to have something even more sophisticated, go buy Kindle DX . You won’t be disappointed. That’s for sure.
