This looks like a Kindle-beater to me….but I’m waiting for the Apple ebook to come out. Anybody hear anything?
I hear they are completely sold out:
“In what may remind many consumers of the Amazon Kindle’s early days, Barnes & Noble expects shipments of its nook e-book reader to be delayed. On Friday, the giant book retailer said it has sold out its first batch of nooks amid high demand — and new shipments won’t be available until after the holiday shopping season ends.”
