As much as I love my Nook, that lag while scrolling is so annoying I wanna throw it across the room sometimes. Even though we shouldn’t expect new displays this year, Bookeen is onto something here.
Nook pre-orders have been sold out since November 20th, and orders placed after that have been subject to oft-delayed ship dates. Now B&N says that these backordered Nooks won’t ship until January 11th, even later than reported this morning.
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]
