Nook eReader
Christmas has come early for Barnes and Noble. The book store’s Nook eReader is in such hot demand that Barnes and Noble is already announcing production delays before it has even shipped the first device. The eReader market has gotten crowded lately, but it is the Nook that seems to pose the biggest threat so far to the dominance of Amazon’s Kindle.
The Nook has been challenged recently in a lawsuit. Spring Design, which announced its eerily similar device, the Alex eReader, the day before Barnes and Noble unveiled the Nook, claims that Barnes and Noble stole the concept for the device from it. That battle is still ongoing.
