Which might not mean much really. We don’t know the initial manufacturing run; it could be 10 thousand units, it could be 100 thousand units. The former not being impressive the later somewhat more impressive. What it does say, though, is that people seem to think that the Nook is worth buying.
I wonder if it cannibalized any Kindle sales however.
Coming down the road is a possible color screen eReader rom Qualcom. But this is a year off, if at all. Though a color e-ink screen with the same battery life would be cool and open up so many possibilities.
So now the question is do I pre-order the Nook now, sight unseen and get the first shipment after the new year, or see it demo’d at the store and just wait until they replenish stock after the new year. Either way it is going to be after the new year unless I score one in-store.
