The Nook looks very similar to the Amazon Kindle 2 eBook Reader, but the one glaring difference you'll immediately notice is that the Nook doesn't have a qwerty keypad like the Kindle 2. Rather, the Nook eBook Reader uses a 3.5" color touchscreen LCD at the bottom, where you control your Nook menu. It looks really slick, and is comparable in size to the Amazon Kindle 2.

COOL STUFF - Nook eBook Reader Review
The Nook eBook Reader from Barnes & Noble, is the newest thing coming out as far as eBook readers are concerned. Designed to be a direct competitor to the Amazon Kindle 2 eBook Reader, the Nook eBook Reader bears much resemblance, but hides its main differences beneath its surface!
The Nook Reader has set itself apart from the Amazon Kindle 2 by adding Wi-Fi and AT&T 3G wireless access. This makes downloading your favorite novels or music a snap. You can even go into any Barnes & Noble's bookstore and automatically connect to their Wi-Fi network, where you can browse books quickly and effectively.
So, with blazing fast internet connections to your Barnes & Nobles Nook eBook Reader and a vast library of titles at your disposal, you can read until your eyes stop working. With 2 GB of space, you'll be hard-pressed to get through the 1,500 books you could potentially hold. If, by some chance, you are a super-genius, then you can add more memory in the Sandisk microSD Memory Card Slot and double your book volume!
The E-ink 6" screen that is featured on the Nook eBook Reader is designed to be easy on your eyes. After hours of reading, you will feel like you've been looking at the soft reflection of paper pages, rather than a backlit screen. And the simple page-flipping buttons on the sides of the unit make reading on the Nook eBook intuitive and simple.
