Barnes & Nobles “Nook” e-reader
A glimpse at what it says is an upcoming ad for Barnes & Noble’s impending announcement, which just so happens to be a e-book reader with color touch screen (sound familiar?) dubbed the Nook. According to the article, it’ll be out Tuesday, retail for $259, and will let users “lend e-books to friends.” Very interesting, indeed — so who’s excited? It looks like Barnes & Noble will be partnering with Best Buy for sales of the device.
Does Plastic Logic have the “Kindle-killer?” Engadget just published some specs: 8.5 x 11 x .33 inches. But, according to Engadget, it supposedly uses the AT&T .3G “less bars” network…
Still, something like this could change the newspaper business.
I know that if I bought one, I would probably drop it on the first day, shattering it to bits.

Imagine going home from Barnes and Nobles and reading your latest novel you just picked up, in bed part way through your new book you put it on your night stand and go to sleep. You wake up to find a check on your night table where your book was! WTF – That is what happened to Kindle owners who bought the book 1984 by George Orwell, those owners who thought they owned a book were reimbursed with the money and found Amazon had taken their purchase back – deleted the book from their device and reimbursed their money! True Story Folks, this post is written in 2009 when we though banning books would just be ludicrous not with Amazon apparently! That totally sucks by the way.
