New Nook Color Is Perfect for Comic Books.
-
If you’re a comic book geek, or just enjoy the occasional graphic novel, Graphicly is turning the Nook Color into the e-reader of your dreams.
Barnes & Noble announced major upgrades to its Android-based Nook Color Monday — including Flash, email and an app store. The ability to install new apps on the device made it more tablet-like than ever, at the favorable price of $250.
Nook Color owners can purchase and download Graphicly’s graphic novels as individual apps — such as Archaia’s Mouse Guard, Wanted from Top Cow/Image, and BOOM! Studio’s Irredeemable.
“We’ve worked with Barnes & Noble to specially craft these apps to be optimized for reading on the Nook Color,” writes a Graphicly rep on the company blog, “and I’ve got to say, they’re pretty sweet.”
The startup just rolled out its Android app i
n February. Prior to that, Graphicly had been available on desktops, iOS devices and in the Chrome Web Store as a launch partner.Graphicly is also bringing special multimedia content to those platforms. The startup recently told us it was collaborating with heavyweights such as Stan Lee to bring features including videos and soundtracks to popular comic franchises.
