Barnes & Noble's Nook e-book reader reviewed, half-baked and not ready for primetime yet


The two biggest tech-heads in the U.S. have just had their hands on Barnes & Noble's Nook e-book reader. Their verdict? It's definitely no Amazon Kindle killer. And in case you were wondering, the tech-heads I'm referring to are the Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg and the New York Times's David Pogue. Mossberg says the Nook holds a lot of potential, beneath all of its slowdowns, bugs and crashes, while Pogue pokes fun at B&N for rushing a clearly unfinished product to market. I'll save you the other spoilers and let you read both their reviews on your own accord, just follow the links below.
