Whois & Analysis for nook.com

An e-reader, also called an e-book reader or e-book device, is a mobile electronic device that is designed primarily for the purpose of reading digital e-books and periodicals.

The Barnes & Noble Nook (styled nook or NOOK) is a brand of e-readers developed by American book retailer Barnes & Noble, based on the Android platform.

The original device was announced in the United States in October 2009, and was released the next month.

The original Nook had a six-inch E-paper display and a separate, smaller color touchscreen that serves as the primary input device and was capable of Wi-Fi and AT&T 3G wireless connectivity.

The original nook was followed in November 2010 by a color LCD device called the Nook Color, in June 2011 by the Nook Simple Touch, and in November 2011 and February 2012 by the Nook Tablet.

On April 30, 2012, Barnes & Noble entered into a partnership with Microsoft that will spin off the Nook and college businesses into a subsidiary.

On August 28, 2012, Barnes and Noble announced partnerships with retailers in the UK, which began offering the Nook digital products in October 2012.

In December 2014, B&N purchased Microsoft's Nook shares, ending the partnership.

A tablet computer, commonly shortened to tablet, is a thin, flat mobile computer with a touch screen display, which is usually in color, processing circuitry, and a rechargeable battery in a single device.

Tablets often come equipped with sensors, including digital cameras, a microphone, and an accelerometer so images on screens are always displayed upright.

The touchscreen display uses the recognition of finger or stylus gestures to replace the mouse, trackpad and keyboard used in laptops.

The ampere (SI unit symbol: A, dimension symbol: I), often shortened to "amp", is a unit of electric current.

In the International System of Units (SI) the ampere is one of the seven SI base units.

It is named after André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836), French mathematician and physicist, considered the father of electrodynamics.

Reading is a complex "cognitive process" of decoding symbols in order to construct or derive meaning (reading comprehension).

Reading is a means of language acquisition, communication, and of sharing information and ideas.

Like all languages, it is a complex interaction between the text and the reader which is shaped by the reader’s prior knowledge, experiences, attitude, and language community which is culturally and socially situated.

The reading process requires continuous practice, development, and refinement.

In addition, reading requires creativity and critical analysis.

Consumers of literature make ventures with each piece, innately deviating from literal words to create images that make sense to them in the unfamiliar places the texts describe.

Because reading is such a complex process, it cannot be controlled or restricted to one or two interpretations.

There are no concrete laws in reading, but rather allows readers an escape to produce their own products introspectively.

This promotes deep exploration of texts during interpretation.
