Maj. Barnes and Noble is one of the best brick and mortar book stores around. If you like technical books they are just about the only book store around at least mainstream. They offer almost double the book selection as kindle plus magazines, newspapers, and such like that. Selection is going to be hard to beat by anyone.

So… how does this device live in the Android ecosystem? Will you be able to run apps on it? if so do they just reside on the smaller screen?

This looks great but how can you be sure that their books library is good and up-to-date with the latest books ? Amazon is very reliable but you cant be sure about other retailers

I thought the Nook wasn’t going to ship until Spring 2010. Where did you find the November date?

Nope I meant phone. I think it would be great to have a “nook” app like Amazon created so the Kindle books would work on an iPhone.

You can currently “Get the eReader for FREE” from Barnes and Noble for the iPhone and Blackberry. It would be nice to have an eReader for android phones.

“But more importantly, the phone is based on the Android operating system.” I’m pretty sure you meant to write eReader and not phone.

If you want to give your mom nookie, you need some help.

LOL, I should get this for my mom. She was saying how she wanted one and now no to longer, I hear of one with Android. Might just take your suggestion, get one, and wrap it up under the tree when the time comes.

Anyone know if this means we will be able to read these ebooks on our Android phones? Kind of like Kindle and iPhone?

I wonder how long it is going to take somebody to root this thing. Imagine how great it would be to WiFi tether the 3G access. If that happens, it would be as good as Nook E. :-)

I’m more interested in the Entourage eDGe. That type of dual screen interests me. This one (like the Alex) isn’t so interesting to me.

Ok. Seriously.

It really has the word nookie in it?

In my neck of the woods that doesn’t mean e-reader.
