Aside from the
backing of parent company Barnes &
Noble (probably the biggest name in book retailing in the US), the Nook HD's main selling
points are its full HD screen, lightweight build and the ability to set
up multiple user profiles.
But,
up to this
point none of the book specialists (ehem, Barnes and
Noble, cough, cough) have been able to pull their heads out of the sand long enough to lure readers from Amazon's shiny online warehouse of discounts and free shipping in order to turn them
back toward odiferous, eye - hazing book shelves.
