Barnes & Noble’s new NOOK tries to please everyone (but it can’t fake E Ink)

This St. Patrick’s Day, Barnes & Noble is trying to toss a little luck into its tech line. The major bookseller is launching its new 8.7-inch NOOK Reading Tablet on March 17, complete with Android 15, 64GB of storage, a color display, and a set of built-in reading modes. It sounds like the next refreshing e-reader moment — that is, until you realize that the display is an IPS LCD panel.
