Of Vooks and Nooks

You may remember a previous post about vooks, which are electronic books and video combined:

"Imagine reading a book and smelling the roses that are being discussed in the text. Or reading a biography of Mozart and hearing his music in each chapter of the book."

Anyway, I had to laugh when the big technology news this week was the introduction of the "Nook," the new electronic reader by Barnes and Noble. The publishing world is excited to have a real competitor to the "Kindle," which is Amazon's very successful product. The "Nook" will be available at the end of November, obviously hoping to tap into the Christmas buying season.

SO - I guess that means that vooks can be downloaded on to nooks. What's next? A vook on cooks for your nook? A cook vook on a nook? I certainly would like a look at a cook book vook on a nook.

Oh silly me. :-)
