The Home Shopping Network (HSN) has revealed on its website that the Nook Color will be receiving a new update next month that will bring with it both Adobe flash support to the eBook reader together with its own App Store.
Details are still a little thin on the ground at the moment but the HSN with Barnes & Noble will be showcasing details of the new update and applications at 12AM, 5AM or 9AM (or 12PM, 5PM or 9PM) ET this Saturday, if you would like to know more details.
What to Expect from the Update
The upcoming update for the Nook Color is highly anticipated by users and tech enthusiasts alike. The inclusion of Adobe Flash support is a significant enhancement, as it will allow users to access a wider range of multimedia content directly from their eBook reader. Flash support means that users can enjoy interactive websites, videos, and games that were previously inaccessible on the Nook Color.
Moreover, the introduction of an App Store is a game-changer for the Nook Color. This new feature will transform the eBook reader into a more versatile device, allowing users to download and install a variety of applications. From productivity tools to entertainment apps, the App Store will significantly expand the functionality of the Nook Color, making it more than just an eBook reader.
Implications for Users
For current Nook Color owners, this update represents a substantial upgrade. The ability to access Adobe Flash content will enhance the browsing experience, making it more comparable to that of a traditional computer or tablet. This is particularly beneficial for users who rely on their Nook Color for both reading and web browsing.
The App Store will also open up new possibilities for customization and personalization. Users will be able to tailor their Nook Color to better suit their needs, whether they are looking for educational apps, games, or tools to enhance their reading experience. This move by Barnes & Noble positions the Nook Color as a more competitive player in the tablet market, bridging the gap between eBook readers and full-fledged tablets.
As always we will keep posted once more details are revealed about the update. If you are interested in purchasing a Barnes & Noble Nook Color they are currently listed for $299.90 on the HSN website.
