Barnes & Noble today posted its first dedicated computer app for the Nook. NOOKstudy is geared to students and lets them both manage e-books and notes in the same place. They can see multiple books at once along with formal lecture notes, their own personal notes and slides. Books can have searchable highlights and annotations.
NOOKstudy will be compatible with the company’s entire catalog of eBooks and digital content, including relevant study aids, test prep guides, periodicals, and hundreds of thousands of trade and professional titles. NOOKstudy will also enable students to save money, as eTextbooks offer up to 40% savings off new textbooks.
NOOKstudy works with both Macs and Windows PCs and is currently in testing at Pennsylvania State, the University of Nevada, Queensboro Community College and the Rochester Institute of Technology. A wider launch is expected with the start of the college and university school year in or near September. US professors and students interested in the app can register online in advance at www.NOOKstudy.com.
