Features of the Nook include a wireless connection to download books from the retailer’s online e-bookstore and an e-paper display from E-Ink Corp. that is separate from the colour controls.
The only discrepancy we’ve found with our original story is that B&N was not priced lower than the Kindle, as our sources said it might be. It’s tied at $US259. But given the lending feature and colour screen, a price match may be more than enough to compete with.
They also reveal the name as “Nook”. It’s kind of dumb. [WSJ via Engadget]

Probably not straight away, but we’ll have to wait for the official launch to know specific details…
