HI-TECH GIFTS
One of the hottest gifts this year is the NOOK and NOOK HD+ from Barnes & Noble. It's literally packed with pixels, with brilliant HD display that delivers text, graphics, and video with stunning HD clarity. Every book, movie and app looks better than ever before, and it fits naturally in your hand so it's easy to hold and ready to go whenever and where ever you are.  One other cool feature is that it allows you to create up to 6 NOOK Profiles™, which is great because each family member can have their own thing on one device. Also the new NOOK Scrapbook™ feature lets magazine and catalog readers virtually clip pages of interest like favorite recipes, and save them in customized digital scrapbooks.
