Its one device with unlimited reading. The new electronic reading device 'Nook' by Barnes & Noble's is a ebook that connects to the internet and allows you to read ebooks on its eye friendly display. The Nook is better than its competitors because it has a Wi-Fi radio with over one thousand physical locations. It has 2GB of memory which is enough to hold 1500 books at one time with options to add more.

If you are interested preorders start Tuesday, Oct. 20th and shipping begins at the beginning of November.

Indeed, Barnes & Noble’s $260 Nook device differs (.PDF) from the Kindle in a number of ways. Most notably, it shares: A feature called LendMe lets users borrow certain books (depending on the publisher’s wishes), the same way readers have traditionally traded paper books. The Nook’s color touchscreen allows you to navigate titles and enter search terms using a virtual keyboard that goes dark once you’re reading.
