Barnes & Noble Make Their Dual-Display Nook E-Book Reader Official, Pre-Orders Starting At $259 Right Now

Barnes & Noble has just made their Nook e-book reader official. Interestingly enough, it's the exact same e-book reader that we saw last week. The Nook has: a 6-inch e-ink display, a smaller 3.5-inch coloured touchscreen display, the Android OS, WiFi, 3G connectivity, a battery that should last around 10 days with the wireless turned off, a 3.5mm headphone jack, 2GB of internal storage, and an SD card slot. Unfortunately, the WiFi will only work in their stores at launch. It looks like the Kindle has some competition. Anyways, it's now available to pre-order for $259 USD right here.
