We’ve grabbed some footage of the Nook Tablet in the flesh and it was interesting to see how responsive and speedy the device was, especially when compared to the Nook Color. This is a full multimedia tablet with plenty of power for video and rich content and everything sped by without much lag or stuttering.

We saw the reader, the video player, the comic book viewer, and the recording feature for kid’s books, a feature that will be especially pertinent for folks who are on the road all the time. Look for our full review in the next few days.
