    Nook Color is a fully capable Android tablet. Obviously this isn't an E-Ink screen, so you have to decide if you're on board or not for reading on an LCD display. If you're entertaining an iPad or Galaxy Tab, we'll assume this screen technology is not going to deter you from using the device as a reader. While, Nook Color with its advanced VividView 7" touchscreen allows you watch movies, view pictures in addition to reading E-books. Here offer some tips of how to connect Nook Color to your Mac and transfer video/music/picture files to Nook Color freely.
