Has nook color the text-to-speech function? And it has dictionary? Thanks
I waited to buy the NookColor but am surprised at it’s color limitations. Why was it not formatted for cbr or cbz formats so comic books – graphic novels could be used. Conversion to PDF or epub eliminates the color. Whywas it not formatted for other video formats such as avi or wmv? Are there apps coming to address these issues?
