The Boston Herald reviews the new nook color, not over until the opportunity, a play on words with the headline, which say that the device that "intentions are hard to read". How to expect, the reviewer found, load it with books is easy, but:
The actual reading started on the other hand, well, but the experience deteriorated over the years together with my eyes. The nook has a 7 inch backlit LCD rather than an easier on-the eyes e-ink screen. The screen is coated to reduce glare and it shows sharp-looking text. But at the end of the day it is still a computer monitor. Over half an hour was enough for me.
He gets the quality of digital newspapers on the device "horrible", say that given bad formatting and costs he would prefer a PDF version of the printed paper. Magazines looked better, however, and intrusive "quirks" worked great with some surfing the Internet.
At the end, he found that $250 price was a little steep for a device that is not sure whether it was a tablet or an e-reader (or perhaps better both be).
