I want to buy a Nook, but I can’t get an answer from their sales department or the local BN to this query:

I want to use a tablet to study languages. Kindle lets you download a book written in a foreign language. Then you can download a dictionary that interacts with the language of the book one just bought. One can highlight a foreign word and the English translation appears above it.

Can you do this with a Nook? I do realize that Amazon is deeper into the European market than is Barnes and Noble. BN just recently entered the British market and that’s it.

I like that the Nook lets you expand the lettering of magazine articles. I haven’t been able to get a Kindle to do that.

Maybe I will have to get Nook for the magazines and Kindle Paperwhite for the language instruction.

I can’t answer all of your questions, but I’m sure Barnes and Nobel would love to hear from you.
