B&N's Nook Prepares to Take On Kindle
LONDON Barnes & Noble has launched its rival to Amazon.com’s Kindle e-reader. Called Nook, the device has wi-fi, though it only works in Barnes & Noble’s bookstores, and also features a second color touchscreen showing book covers below the familiar black-and-white reading frame.
The Nook will retail at $259, the same price as the U.S. version of the Kindle. The Nook device will not ship until Nov. 30. Like Amazon.com, most best sellers and new releases will sell for $9.99.
