Oh this is great for Barnes & Noble, and terrible for Nook fans. The Nook is so popular (even though no one has it yet) that it’s sold out for the holidays.  To calm down the angry consumer who expected a Nook for Christmas,  B&N is offering placeholder certificates  to help with the tremendous loss. So now your Nook should start shipping on January 4th. Just. Great.
