Both Nook and Nook Color run on Android technology. Both also offer a basic web-browser to surf the internet. The Nook's 16-level gray-scale display makes the text appear like a regular book. The Wi-Fi version works with any Wi-Fi connection. The 3G connection, while being a bit more expensive upfront, offers free 3G connection through ATT wireless. The navigation panel is color and touch sensitive.
 * Notes: **

Nook Color has a back-lit display, and has the ability to run animated e-books. Barnes and Noble offers many children's books in the format, and the books can be read aloud or the child can read the book by him or herself.
