It’s not fun being the coolest kid in town as Barnes & Noble just found out. Its hot dual-screen Nook ebook reader was supposed to ship on November 30th, but that’s not going to happen.
Sorry. The good news is that buyers should still get it before Christmas though. B&N is saying that the delay was caused by higher than expected sales numbers and the new ship date is
December 11. The Nook is just more popular that B&N had thought it would be and you can totally understand why. It comes sporting a 3G wireless connection like the Kindle, the same price
as the Kindle, but also the two screens and an equally vast eBook store. The Nook is where it’s at, kids.
