Barnes & Noble Nook 9" Tablet -- DEMO and REVIEW

Рет қаралды 3,240

Ай бұрын

If you've been reading ebooks on a tiny 6" black & white screen, you're about to have an eye-opening experience with the big, bright 9" full-color display on the Barnes & Noble Nook 9-Inch Tablet. Ebook fan and tech expert Dave Taylor checks out the newest in the Nook family and talks about why you should buy it through BN.COM rather than just pick up the Lenovo Tab M9. Why? Because B&N adds some unique software that makes the experience quite a bit better. Don't forget, it's also an Android 13 tablet so you can watch Netflix, enjoy the latest KZfaq videos, play all your favorite Android games, and much more. Includes detailed hands-on demo with a graphic novel, audiobook, and traditional ebook on screen.

Thanks for this video. I have watched it twice and will probably do so again. I just upgraded to this device from the 7" NOOK which I only used for reading. This is a world of difference. At first, I was dismayed but now am excited. I used to watch Netflix, but it stopped working on that device. And so did LIBBY. But, both seem to be OK on the Lenovo. One thing right off the bat that I don't like is that there is simply not enough room on the home screen. There are some default apps I would like to remove, but can't figure that out.

Picked it up launch weekend. Haven't done much reading, yet. but feel like it's a step up from using my phone. Got it primarily for manga and light novels, and so far, no complaints. The fact that, if I need a book, I can buy B&N books directly without going to web is a great feature. No complaints so far, except battery, but to be expected for a "tablet", and its standby time is amazing. (all data off + power saver = no battery usage when not in use). Picked up a 3rd party cover, similar to the official, and its been nice as well. Loaded in a custom launcher, however, so I can customize the home screen much more, and I've had zero problem accessing or finding what I need. Can even use the B&N app to order from the cafe while I read at their store :)

Sounds like a great solution for you. And yeah, imagine the same tablet, but with a 1000 hr battery. Maybe a few years down the road 🙂

@AskDaveTaylor standby is easily over a month if not in use. With use I read for about 2 to 3 hours with only about 3%. So days of reading. Yes I disabled many of the nifty android features and keep the data connections off when not in use, and battery saver is always on. But battery life is pretty amazing. And no complaints. Definitely finding myself reading more already

I've learned with other devices (my iPad Mini, especially) that if you use it sporadically, airplane mode is a secret hack to extend battery life manyfold. Sounds like you're doing the same too!

I had the old Nook+ color.. I know, very old, but I loved it. I was able to get books from Amazon that would load right to the Nook. Is this new one still able to do this? I will be getting this new Nook soon before the $30 credit from B&N for my old one expires.

@AskDaveTaylor Ай бұрын

That should still work, but if you're getting books from Amazon, aren't you then in the Kindle app to read them?

Thanks for the video.📺 Mine came in the mail almost 2 weeks ago; the cover got here first. Nook Hub makes it so much easier.📚

I don't know what the NOOK HUB is for. All I see is info about the device. I can't actually do anything when I am there.

@AskDaveTaylor 13 күн бұрын

You don't need to access the Nook Hub; it just enables other things (like buying ebooks directly in the Nook app)

i want a colour e-reader so i can read webtoons, manga and use the libby app and other apps through my local library. i used to have a nook as a teenager so this would be a full-circle moment for me. it has the play store, so i'm assuming i can get all those apps?

Got this when they EoL'd my 2012 NOOK HD+. Less screen space but at least up-to-date, though I cannot seem to be able to crossload epub files where the Nook app can see them. With basically no bezel, it is too easy to trigger a page turn by accidentally touching the edge of the screen, so it's not real well designed for an e-reader. Mine also seems to have issues with maintaining its wi-fi connection, but it's hard to pin down. I should bring it to a B&N store and see if it happens there (where someone can see it). My customer experience is 6.5 out of 10 for this device.

@AskDaveTaylor Ай бұрын

Thanks for the feedback. I can see what you mean about the accidental page turns, though I haven't experienced it myself. I wonder if a different style of case might mitigate that (there are tons of generic 9" cases on Amazon). In terms of your wi-fi, definitely experiment with different networks to see if it's a tablet problem or a wi-fi network problem. Good luck!

Is there a way to change from the android OS to the nook OS ? There was a rumour the 10" nook had that feature.

@AskDaveTaylor Ай бұрын

I do not see any indication that you can switch, and in any case, the NookOS is considerably slimmer in features and capabilities than Android...

@tonygonzales726 Ай бұрын

@@AskDaveTaylor thanks for the speedy reply. I know android has more features, but I like opening the e-reader and instantly be on the nook OS/app.

@JonathanWagner Ай бұрын

@@tonygonzales726if you turn the screen off with the app open it typically stays open. Standby time is pretty lengthy when not in use. So that's always an option. Can probably find a launcher on the store that can boot up a reader on home screen.

Do it have text to speech

@AskDaveTaylor Ай бұрын

Android 13 includes text-to-speech capabilities, but it's not a native feature in the Nook ebook reader app. However, Android might still offer it through accessibility. You'd need to experiment!
