Barnes & Noble Nook Reader Finally Shipping to Customers

Tweet

Officially launched in October — when we got to know more regarding specs, features and price, in November we found out that the new Barnes & Noble Nook reader should be available in stores just in time for Christmas. But things took a wrong turn and just a few days ago we caught wind that the Nook will not be available until past Christmas. Shattering some of the pre-launch confusion, the whole game could come to an end as some customers have reportedly got their hands on the device, shattering some of the pre-launch confusion and leading us thinking that the company has actually started shipping some Nooks.

Although nothing has been confirmed by now, there’s still hope at the end of the tunnel that some of those people who pre-ordered the Nook reader might get it on their doorstep just in time for Christmas.

As you already know the Barnes & Noble Nook eBook reader measures in at 7.7 x 4.9. x 0.5-inches and weighs at only 0.7lbs. It has two screens — a 6-inch grayscale e-ink display from Vizplex and a 3.5-inch color touchscreen, packs Wi-Fi 802.11b/g connectivity, AT&T 3G support, 2GB of built-in storage space, microSD card support (up to 16GB of memory), a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack, micro USB connectivity and an MP3 player.

Costs $259!
