The Amazon Kindle may finally get a run for its money from the soon-to-be-released Nook eReader from Barnes & Noble. The Nook eReader is already available for pre-order and the device will be released in November.
The Nook eReader has been in the planning for a long time. Current Kindle competitors haven’t been great at getting a foothold, so the market will be keeping its eye on the device.
You’ll be able to browse entire books on the Nook eReader when at Barnes & Noble, but wifi capability is going to be limited, at least at first.
