Barnes & Noble Unveils Full Service Nook Boutiques

Today Barnes & Noble announced they will install 1,000 square-foot boutique areas in stores to show off the Nook eReader. The “full-service” boutiques will contain trial devices, a video screen playing demos, and a staff member dedicated to device support.

The company released a dramatic figure about in store Internet use: the bookseller currently “averages more than 2 million free Wi-Fi connections per month in its stores.” The press release did not include a new price tag–the Nook Wi-Fi still sells for $149 and the Nook 3G sells for $199.
