I’m convinced Barnes & Noble has no idea what the hell they’re doing. After looking like they were gonna be late, then “oops, we sold out,” now Barnes & Noble says that at minimum, they won’t have Nooks—even to demo—in actual retail stores until Dec. 7 at the earliest, in order to fill pre-order demand. This is only gonna get more ridiculous, just watch. [WSJ]
Rumors about Barnes & Noble’s plans to develop an eReader have been confirmed in a company statement that launches a new e-Bookstore and outlines a partnership with Plastic Logic to develop an eReader for an early 2010 launch.
If we have learned anything from Blockbuster it’s that you need to embrace technology while you can. So, it makes sense that Barnes and Noble may be plotting their own e-Reader device.
