NOOKcolor recently made the news by reaching 1,000,000 downloads of apps in the first week of support for this device. Offered by Barnes & Noble, the product also has a downside when it comes to downloading, since a mere 1GB of the 5GB of storage it offers will be partitioned for side-loaded content.
Don’t be scared by this limitation, though, as it seems that only the new NOOKcolor units that come in boxes with a blue dot on them will be affected by this. This single GB will store music, movies and more, while the rest of storage is available for books. We suppose that there’s a workaround being developed right now, or maybe even an update from the e-reader’s makers…
The product still remains a well sold item, at a mere $249 and this storage aspect doesn’t seem to slow it down.
