The Barnes & Noble “Nook” e-reader is officially official! Pre-orders are running now, and it costs $259, but no release date is out yet. It boasts 2 screens – one color, and one E-Ink. Wireless is AT&T 3G with Wi-Fi, 2 GB included storage, expandable to 16GB. You also have a new cool feature, which is person-to-person e-reading.
The screen sizes are a 6-inch E-Ink display, and 3.5-inch color display, which is used for navigating the interface. Also included is a 3.5mm headphone jack. To be precise, the actual size of the e-reader is 7.7- x 4.9- x 0.5-inches and weighs 11.2 ounces. By the way, the battery life of this thing is about 3.5 hours using wall outlet, and can last 10 hours, BN says, if you turn “off” the wireless feature.
No release date, but this e-reader seals the fate of the Kindle. The Kindle is dead, or will be.
