Nook Available In Canada - Who Knew?

Thu, 25 Feb 2010 03:13:17 GMT

While doing research for the Nook review posted last week, I noticed that the manual said,

"You can only purchase a nook if you have a billing address in the United States, U.S. territories, or Canada."

This was the first I'd heard about the Nook being available anywhere outside the US. In fact, if you check the B&N website right now you will find this in the FAQ,

"Q. - I dont live in the U.S. Can I buy a nook?
No. At this time, nook is not for sale outside the U.S."

So I sent an email to Nook support on 2/16 to clarify this matter. Today, 2/24, I received an email back that had this to report,

"Please be advised, we are only offering the Nook for customers in the U.S. and Canada. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused you."

So apparently the Nook is officially available to those living in Canada. Who knew? You'd think B&N would advertise this fact a little more. Perhaps because the 3G doesn't get coverage there, but Wi-Fi still works. Seems odd not to make it more apparent. At least update the FAQ.

Apple iPad's iBookstore Crippled by New DRM?

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 15:24:32 GMT

It's official. Still two months away from its release, the Apple iPad has forever changed ebooks and ebook readers. Apple's arrangement with publishers uses a new agency pricing model, which will likely be forced on all other ebook retailers, and will cause ebook prices to jump from $9.99 for new releases to $12.99 - $14.99. So do the authors of the books get paid more money for these ebooks under this model? Not likely, probably less, in fact. But they are hoping this will cause more people to buy hardcovers instead, and "level the playing field". Interesting theory. When's the last time you were willing to shell out $28 for a hardcover book? And if that's not bad enough, the Apple iPad's ebooks won't be viewable on other devices such as the Nook and Sony Readers, and the iPad won't be compatible with DRM-encrypted ebooks purchased from other content providers, just Apple. Adobe confirms this on their blog. Whether the iPad will function as a suitable ebook reader is up for debate, but one thing is certain: its affect on ebooks and ereaders will be long-lasting.
