Barnes & Noble Introduces NOOKstudy no comments
Barnes & Noble today announced the introduction of a new program for college students dubbed NOOKstudy (great – more camel case). From the press release:
Barnes & Noble, Inc. (NYSE: BKS), the world’s largest bookseller, today announced that it has developed an integrated software solution for the higher education market. Called NOOKstudy, the feature rich, free software application is the ultimate study tool, enabling students to manage all their digital content – eTextbooks, class materials, and notes – on the computing device they rely on most, their PC or Mac. NOOKstudy, developed with input from students and leading higher education institutions, delivers a superior digital reading experience and is the first digital textbook application that enhances the academic experience through unique and customizable study features.
NOOKstudy is a revolutionary, easy-to-use study tool that offers instant downloads of a large, versatile selection of eTextbooks and academic and trade titles. Among the innovative features developed with extensive feedback from college students, professors and administrators, NOOKstudy lets students view multiple books and sources at once and offers access to complementary content (e.g. toolsets, reference materials, etc.), as well as the unprecedented ability to highlight and take notes that are searchable and customizable. This comprehensive software solution also provides students access to all of their materials – eTextbooks, lecture notes, syllabi, slides, images, trade books and other course-related documents – all in one place, so their digital library goes wherever they go.
Barnes & Noble seems to be taking a different approach to the educational market than Amazon did. By promoting the nook ereader as a tool and accessory rather than as a total replacement for paper textbooks B&N should be able to avoid the accessibility issues that knocked the wheels off of Amazon’s attempts.
