Barnes & Noble are about to launch their very own high tech eBook Reader, the nook.

Get bestsellers and new releases, your favorite eNewspapers , and eMagazines all delivered fast and free via 3G wireless or Wi-Fi. Browse the vast Barnes and Noble eBookstore and sample any eBook for free. Then buy it in seconds — many bestsellers and new releases are just $9.99.
Choose an eBook using the beautiful color touch screen, then watch it appear instantly on the E Ink® display, where text appears as crisp as a printed page. The 16-level gray scale display offers great contrast with no glare or backlight. Choose from five font sizes so you can read with ease — plus, bookmark, highlight, and make notes as you go.
Store as many as 1,500 eBooks, eNewspapers , and eMagazines on your nook’s 2 GB of internal storage, so you’ll never be without your favorites. Need more space? Just add a Micro SD card and expand your library up to 17,500 titles including pictures, music, and PDF files.
Definitely sounds like a wicked gadget doesn’t it? I’m so going to watch this space and see what happens to the Amazon Kindle next – competition rules! I hear that it will set you back about $260.
