Barnes & Noble unveils its e-reader
Barnes & Noble added a chapter on Tuesday to the e-book competition story. Beginning in November, the No. 1 book store chain will sell an e-reader, called the Nook, that gives users the flexibility to lend their digital books to others – something that isn’t possible with Amazon’s Kindle, the best-selling e-reader.
Like the Kindle, the Nook costs $260. It will use AT&T’s 3G network to wirelessly download books, newspapers, magazines, and blogs. Both use the same black-and-white screen display technology. B&N also emulates Amazon’s practice of charging far less for e-books than it does for paper editions.
But unlike the Kindle, which has a keyboard, Nook users type on a multi-color touch screen. The device is powered by Google’s Android operating system, and B&N’s e-books can be read on devices besides the Nook.
Plastic Logic revealed some details on Monday about one of those devices: its long-awaited reader will be called Que, and will be formally introduced in January.
