Barnes & Noble recently introduced a full color version of the popular NOOK ereader, called the NOOKcolor.  Priced at $249, this eReader features a full color touch screen, however, unlike the Amazon Kindle, NOOKcolor is backlit.  This means that, while the color will be clear and crisp in most lighting, in bright sunlight you may notice a difference.  The choice between backlit full color and the E Ink featured in the Amazon Kindle is basically an individual selection.  If you don’t read much outdoors, then the NOOKcolor may be the right eReader for you.  Here are some of the other display features of the NOOKcolor:

• The 7-inch VividView™ Color Touchscreen on the new NOOKcolor is backlit, but NOOKcolor promises that your screen will be easy to read day or night. 
• NOOKcolor features high-resolution imaging capable of displaying more than 16 million colors.
• NOOKcolor’s display gives you an extra wide viewing angle of 178°, so you can view the screen from almost any angle.  This design also promises to reduce glare, providing optimum brightness for enjoyable reading indoors or outside.
• Your NOOKcolor can easily switch between portrait and landscape modes, depending on what you’re reading.  A quick turn of your NOOK switches from portrait to landscape allowing you to flip through a magazine or enjoy a bedtime story with your children.

Again, the choice between E Ink and the backlit full color NOOKcolor is more an individual preference, depending on what you’ll be reading with your eReader, and where you’ll be using it!
