Barnes & Noble rolls out periodical support for Android tablets

By | May 14, 2011, 4:52pm PDT

Summary: Barnes & Noble rolled out support for periodicals with its Nook Color ArticleView technology for magazines on Android tablets.

Yesterday Barnes & Noble announced that a new version of the Nook for Android application was released with support for magazines and newspapers on Android tablets. This update works with 7 inch and larger tablets running Android 2.1 and higher and does not work on Android smartphones. iPad owners already have support for magazines in the Nook and it is good to see support for Android tablet roll out as well.

Barnes & Noble has more than 140 magazine and newspaper brands for Android tablet owners to choose from. The interactive Nook magazine experience, with ArticleView technology, was previously only available to Nook Color owners. Using this capability you can view just the article’s text to make magazine reading an enjoyable and easy experience on a digital device. The Nook for iPad application does not yet support this ArticleView technology.

The morning paper and latest magazines can be delivered right to your Android tablet, just like a virtual paperboy. Supported tablets include the Samsung Galaxy Tab, Motorola Xoom, LG G-Slate, and Archos internet tablets.

There is an update for smartphone owners, but it is just to improve the performance and does not add magazine or newspaper functionality.

Yup. Works great on my 10" Iconia Tab. Got my Popular Science and Popular Mechanics subs already. So much nicer than on my 7" eReader.

I think B&N needs to get replacement power cables for Nook Color devices. That would be more useful for those of us with power cables with a broken end. They claim you can't use just any old BB to USB type cable, or your Nook might get damaged. Well, as the only alternative is to turn it off and hope that when they finally get cables it will turn on again, there's really only one other option.

Good day to confirm this comment I would appreciate T h e b e s t o f Z D N e t d e l i v e r e d your website very nice to everyone Yes, Oracle is the only one with shared-disk architecture, but that is there advantage. It means you can add or remove nodes and the database lives on. In a shared nothing architecture, if you lose a node, you lose the system. I'm sure Oracle appreciates EMC highlighting their advantage.I also desire to signal in your RSS feeds. Thank you as soon as once again and maintain up the great operate Awesome post! Thank you very much || thanks for nice content this is really benefit to me.
