OK.. so we’ll all know for sure in a few hours but I thought I’d pass along this tidbit courtesy of the Wall Street Journal (via News.com) about the forthcoming announcement of the Barnes & Noble new e-reader device. We’ve seen the pictures and now we have a name and a supposed price.
According to the Journal, the new B&N device will be called the “Nook” and will be priced at $259. The device will also feature the ability to “lend electronic books to others” which I’m surprised that publishers were actually OK with but I’m sure we’ll find out the exact details shortly.
At $259, we’re talking about a device with the same price point as the entry level Amazon Kindle yet featuring dual displays – a larger electronic ink display and a smaller color touch-screen.
