Amazon Kindle has a note-syncing feature, and it would appear that Barnes and Noble’s Nook is trying to compete with NOOKstudy.

NOOKstudy is downloadable software for the PC and Mac that allows the user to access and organize course material, and does require you to have a Nook. As I recall, they were pretty rare at the beginning.

Barnes & Noble says that NOOKstudy will give students access to “eTexbooks, lecture notes, syllabi, slides, images, trade books, and other course-related documents.” This information should be able to be synced with your own notes as well, taken either inside the Nook e-reader or inside the NOOKstudy software.

Another important feature is search. NOOKstudy lets you search text passages, search your own notes, or look up definitions and formulas through reference sites like Dictionary.com or Google.

Look for it in August, but I’ve heard that students and professors can sign up for it early.
