I was in Barnes and Noble where they are heavily advertising ‘The Nook” which if you don’t know is an electronic book.
I was passing the information desk when I happened to hear the following conversation between Grandmother and Grandaughter (10 or 11 yrs old)
Grandaughter: “What is a nook?”
Grandmother: “Its a quiet little place where you can go to read”
I love technology and we will be getting a Nook but I really identified with Grandma.
One would think it would be called an e-book, no?
yes, e=electronic.
Once we’re getting into semantics, it’s actually an e-reader.
Wired did a review on the Nook: http://www.wired.com/reviews/product/pr_nook
But yes, I still relate to Grandma, too.
That is funny…
I have a kindle and love — as in LOOOOOVE it – so yes get one of them!
