3.0 out of 5 stars Not for Nook Color, July 10, 2012

This review is from: The NOOK Book: An Unofficial Guide: Everything you need to know about the NOOK Tablet, NOOK Color, and the NOOK Simple Touch (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
I have a Nook Color and thought this book would help me. It didn't. Appears to be a Nook Tablet book, with minimal reference to Nook Color. Definitely not "everything I need to know."

This book is well written and covers just about everything concerning Nooks. All in all a good value. I own both kinds of Nooks and this is well worth having.
