Laptop Magazine have published a review of the Barnes & Noble Nook eReader. 'Measuring just 7.7 x 4.9 x 0.5 inches, the Nook is noticeably smaller than the Kindle 2. However, it's a bit heavier, weighing 12.1 ounces to the Kindle's 10.2 ounces. The Nook's design is economical and streamlined, owing mainly to the 0.6-inch bezel around the 6.0-inch electronic paper display (EPD) and the 3.5-inch color touchscreen below it. Aside from the Next/Previous Page buttons on either side of the display, the only physical button on the Nook is the power/sleep control on top. Two small speakers flank the headphone jack and mini-USB port on the bottom. The back of the device feels slightly rubbery and keeps the Nook from sliding too much on smooth surfaces.'
