NOOK-News from the Forward Edge of the Technological Area

The OS Department had an interesting meeting yesterday in regards to the compatibility of NOOK. Katya, our Russian librarian, mentioned that the only reason she chose this mobile device was due to long battery life, approximately 8 hours, and most importantly its compatibility with Russian font. This is information was refreshing for me since I will consider these aspects for my native language Spanish, although the font is not an issue, accents marks and other letters are.
