The new Nook has a stylus

May 24th, 2011 by Nate Hoffelder · 5 Comments · hardware news

Normally I’d pass on mentioning the accessories, but the new Nook has a few that caught my eye. There’s a stylus, case w\stylus, and a battery pack. I’m curious if the new stylus will work with a Sony or Kobo Touch.

I’m going to go see if someone can demo it for me.

    I don’t care how many pretteh wraps and cases they make for it — it’s STILL FUGLY!

    Wait, it’s one of those clunky e-drawing tablet things instead of something integrated like the Sony? No thanks. But to answer your question, it should work on the Sony. Seeing as you can pretty much use a stick, your finger, the built-in stylus, the tip of a cat’s tail, or any other specialized bit of kit on one, this stylus should work.

    And with a two month battery life, isn’t a battery pack a bit… uhm. Can it be used as an AC charger ala the iGo charge Anywhere (which I love) or it is just a battery pack?

    Does that box really proclaim “good design” on the side? The Nook maybe, the box, not so much.

    Chris, don’t forget the cookie crumbs!

    And I agree with Mike, it’s ugly…
