Is a refurbished Nook as good as a new one?

Just like other people entering 2011, you are looking to save some money. Everyone is. On the other hand, it's difficult to resist all of the new toys that have been coming out and that includes the new Barnes & Noble Nook e-reader.

You know the benefits of saving money when you buy eBooks, but unfortunately there is always an investment to be made when buying new technology and with the Nook there is no exception.

There is an option for you though because now you can purchase a refurbished Nook with 3G access for just under the price of a brand new Nook without 3G access.

The Difference Between Refurbished and New

A refurbished item is one that has been used and returned to the factory or authorized reseller and then cleaned up, repaired and made to look like new. When purchasing a refurbished item, you want to make sure that there is a warranty available and watch for it to either be sold by an authorized reseller or the factory. Many times, since the item has been repaired already you are getting a product that is better than new because any known bugs will have been fixed and repaired.

Refurbished items should not be confused with "open box" items which are those where the box has been opened, but the product has never been used.

I usually like to purchase brand new items, but I am going to start looking at refurbs in order to get more bang for my buck.

Nook Accessories to go with your purchase

Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced. After a period of time that will vary depending on use, you may find that your battery requires you to charge more frequently after shorter periods of time. The battery is recharged when installed in the nook and the nook is connected to a power source, either an AC-outlet or your computer via the USB cable. This replacement battery is an identical back-up to the original battery that came with your nook. There is no need for a service center or to send your nook anywhere to replace with this battery, as it's user-replaceable with the aid of a small Philips screwdriver, included with the replacement battery. Battery type: Rechargeable lithium polymer For use in nook eReader devices by Barnes & Noble Battery life: approximately 10 days on a single charge with wireless/music off; 2 days with wireless/music on Instructions enclosed Mini Philips screwdriver included Imported.
