A few weeks ago, I hinted that I would be giving away a brand-new Barnes and Noble NOOKColor Reader's Tablet, and now that time has arrived! New year, new eReader -- what could be better than that? I've been blessed with a new NOOKColor myself, and I can't begin to tell you how fantastic it is. Check out some of the fabulous new features on the NOOKColor
slim and compact design: less than a 1/2-inch thick and weighs less than a pound!
7-inch full-color touch screen
screen displays in portrait or landscape
personalize with your own photos
scroll bar shows your 50 most recently read items
create customized shelves to help organize your eBooks
adjustable font sizes and types
adjustable background color
easy swipe to turn pages
built-in dictionary: just highlight a word and look it up!
highlighting for important text
magazines are in full color and can be zoomed in and out
12,000 full-color children's books; picture books are narrated or can be read by child
shop for 2 million-plus books!
8 GB of memory, which can be expanded
lend books to friends with NOOKColor Reader's Tablets
Android apps include Pandora (for music) and games
password protectable
interact with Facebook, Twitter and email
See what I mean? The new NOOKColor is absolutely amazing. I take mine everywhere. I read books on my NOOKColor in bed. I browse through magazines and work on crossword puzzles in the school car line. And I share children's books with my kids.
I hope you'll head over to your local Barnes and Noble and try one out for yourself. You can also purchase the NOOKColor at Books-A-Million, Best Buy, selected Walmart stores, and online .
Before we get to the details of the giveaway, there's one other thing I wanted to share about my NOOKColor. Watch this video (and try not to laugh ... it's my very first vlog post!)
