[Q] Nook Color on eBay - Nook Color General

Hi,
I'm new to NC and wanted to get a refurbished NC from BN. The one listed on eBay looks white but on BN website it looks grey to me.
Wonder if it is the latest version or if any that can be rooted for installing android 2.2 apps?
Here is the ebay link: (I can't post the link)
Thanks ...
Update: I've figured that the one on eBay is not color. Sorry for the post.

NookColor *IS* gray.
Older nook, e-Ink not LCD is white.
There are no white NookColor readers.

And, ironically, it is available for sale on Amazon.com, but at $50 more than B&N sells it.

I think the S-IPS screen is what attracted me to the Nook Color.

Nook

Hi was just curious if theres a nook app for windows mobile 7? Ive done some looking around and havent found much. Wife is crazy for nook on android and only way I can switch her over is if theres nook or something like it that can grab books from her barnes and noble account. Thanks for the info and ill keep looking around.
There isn't any Nook app yet. Rumors are Spring 2011, but they are just rumors. I've been using the Kindle app, which kinda of ticks me off, as I have lots of book that I bought from Barnes & Noble, and have a Nook Color, that I do not always carry with me.

[UPDATE]Nook Colors disappeared from Local Walmarts

I went to my local Walmart today and noticed something when I passed the electronics section all the Nook Colors were gone. Now I was at this same Walmart a few days ago and there were plenty in the case. I used Walmart.com to check in-store availability of the Nook Color and almost every Walmart on the list showed Limited Stock or Out of Stock statuses. Either someone went around buying up all the Nook Colors or Walmart its clearing their stock in anticipation of a new product possibly from B&N. I don't know about you but I'm more inclined to think it's the latter. Though I could be completely wrong and they just decided to stop selling Nook Colors.
PS: Walmart.com is now selling refurbished Nook Colors for $150.00, definitely an unbeatable price for a good tablet.

I got my Color Nook off of Ebay. It was a refurbished Nook sold directly by B&N. It cost $149 plus shipping.
My local Walmart has about 50+ Nook Colors stacked up, all for $249 still

The ones sold by B&N on eBay have free shipping. There is a credible third-party also selling them for you're price though.

where are the deals now?

Hi guys. Missed the Barnes and Nobel deal so now I am looking around for the best deals, so I thought I would stop here and ask. I need one for my daughter for Christmas. Either a color nook or nook tablet. Looking to root it as well through the sd card because I want to keep the stock B&N software for my daughter to buy and read books. Any input is welcome as to where I can get either one for a great deal and which one to get. Thanks!
I bought 2 refurbished for the kids for $119 each from here last week. It changed to $129 now. I don't know if the price fluctuates or not.

It appears to be B&N's own ebay site.
Item location: B&N Warehouse, United States
I can't be sure what the warranty is but it should be 1 year like the one from their site.
Yes, that auction ended, then went from $129 to $149 and that ended and I cant find another auction listed under the Barnes and Nobel store anymore.......
For the price comparison between the two, I am wondering if I would be better to go with the tablet? I am sure that it will be rooted very soon! looking for input!

Locked boot loader makes it basicly SOL for custom roms.

B&N's own site still has the $149 refurb deal here. Not as good as $119, but at least its still available
So what would you guys get? If they get past the bootloader problem, which I am sure they will, the only other advantage to the tablet besides the speed is the built in "mic" which later on could be used to talk while using the keyboard similar to the way a cell phone works? Just trying to weigh my options!
Honestly, I would go ahead and get the nook color (not tablet). And think about putting a rom on the emmc (internal drive). That way she can read books from Barnes and Noble on the nook app, as well as books on the kindle app, Sony reader app and Google books. I also check out books from my local library.
I guess you can also do this running the rom from the SD card, but having done it both ways myself, I would go for putting the rom on the nook itself. Rom runs much better.
Apps are much cheaper from the Google market than from the B&N market.
I don't know how much function a mic will give, but I text from my nook using Google voice.
Check out Craigslist as another option. My sister just got a great deal on a nook with leather cover that was barely touched. Still had the box, etc.

It has already been rooted, just no customs ROMS unless someone gets passed the locked bootloader.....

So you are typing right? I dont suppose google voice works without a mic right????
You can use Google voice for texting over wifi. No way to make calls from the nook.

Yep, but it also says "This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available" above the listing and doesn't have an option for me to buy
My bad. I'm brain farting....
screw it, I went with the tablet. Im sure it will be unlocked soon by these awesome devs on this website. The tablets processor and the mic did me in.......

$150 now
While this ain't exactly Nook Color related, if you aim for a cheap tablet and don't care about the 1024x600 Resolution the Nooks have...
Go for a Aino Novo 7, it's 100$ and overall might be the better choice for your daughter as it packs a whole bunch more than the Nook.
Its biggest downside being tough to find protective covers and the 800x480 resolution.

Nook Color now just $169 from B&N

The Verge just announced a price drop for the nook tablet $199 and consequently nook color to $169 ($135 refurbished)!
I just bought mine a couple of days ago...
I got a coupon for $50 off the Nook Color a couple of weeks ago. Looks like I may just have to jump on this.
They just came out Nook tablet 8Gb.
I'm waiting for Nook Tablet get hacked more and go for it. Right now. I'm happy with my NC.
I'm getting one after I sell my nc
