You Can Now Read Nook E-Books On A PC Or Mac & YouTube Is A News Source For Many

Linda Reimer

You Can Now Read Nook E-Books On A PC Or Mac: Today Barnes & Noble released Nook web browser software for its Nook e-books. This means that finally you can read Barnes & Noble Nook e-books via the web browser on your PC or Mac as well as on your Nook or tablet.

Amazon of course has offered Kindle e-book browser access for several years and now Barnes & Noble has jumped on the same bandwagon. And to translate all of that tech talk into our basic common every day tongue – you can now access any Kindle or Barnes & Noble e-book that you have purchased, or will purchase, through the web browser on your PC or Mac. And so if, for example, you’ve previously purchased a non-fiction e-book to read on your e-reader or tablet and you wish to refer to facts contained within it because you are typing up a report and wish to double check a fact– you can download the appropriate software from Amazon or Barnes & Noble and open that e-book up and read it on your computer. It certainly makes it easier to look up facts if your report is being typed up in Word on the same computer!

Here’s a link to a CNET article on that subject titled Nook Chases After Kindle with Browser Based Service:

And in relation, here’s the link to that Amazon web page that offers you the option to download the Amazon Kindle reader for Mac or PC – Amazon now calls it Kindle for the Web:

YouTube Is A News Source For Many: Did you know that many people now check the video site YouTube when a news story breaks? I didn’t either! However, it seems this is a growing trend as people look for videos shot by amateur reporters, professional reporters, and frequently, every day citizens who have simply been in the right place at the right time to video tape a news story on their smart phone and then uploaded it to YouTube.

So the next time a story breaks you may want to search the YouTube site, located at YouTube.com, to find information and videos dealing with breaking news stories.

NPR has a really cool story on this growing trend today it is called
