Of course an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2009\/11\/03\/spring-design-vs-barnes-and-noble-all-the-nooks-and-crannies\/\" target=\"_blank\">NDA (Non disclosure Agreement)<\/a> was signed to ensure that the information is kept secret. After the meeting, there was no contact between Spring Design and B&amp;N until the release of Nook, which looks so much like Alex eReader. Both has dual LCD screen with the bottom screen being a touch screen and both are Android powered. Look at how close it resembles each other.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"6298\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/techielobang.com\/blog\/2009\/11\/04\/spring-design-displays-alex-ereader-after-suing-barnes-noble-over-nook\/nook-and-alex-rm-eng\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/nook-and-alex-rm-eng.jpg?fit=460%2C397&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"460,397\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"nook-and-alex-rm-eng\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/nook-and-alex-rm-eng.jpg?fit=300%2C258&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/nook-and-alex-rm-eng.jpg?fit=460%2C397&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6298 aligncenter\" title=\"nook-and-alex-rm-eng\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/nook-and-alex-rm-eng.jpg?resize=460%2C397\" alt=\"nook-and-alex-rm-eng\" width=\"460\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/nook-and-alex-rm-eng.jpg?w=460&amp;ssl=1 460w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techielobang.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/nook-and-alex-rm-eng.jpg?resize=300%2C258&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><!--more-->At first, I thought that it must be some features that resemble Spring Design&#8217;s Alex.
