Barnes & Noble Announces $139 "All-New Nook"

Barnes & Noble is launching a lighter, slimmer, cheaper version of its e-reader, called the All-New Nook, for $139 — the same price as the cheapest Kindle from rival Amazon.

Available June 10, the device features a 6-inch touch screen and can hold up to 1,000 digital books.

Barnes & Noble Inc. said Tuesday that the latest Nook lets readers look up words, highlight passages, search and adjust font size by typing on an on-screen keyboard. It says the device weighs 7.5 ounces and is 35 percent lighter than the first Nook. The iPad 2 is nearly three times heavier at 1.3 pounds.

The lower pricing is a sign Barnes & Noble is ready to compete on price, but they are yet to compete with Amazon's Kindle Store.

Oh? "This would be considered unacceptable professional behavior in any organization, but for an attorney working in the White House to have engaged in this type of deception, this should probably be grounds for his termination."
This is White House and DOJ modus operandii. The ends justifies the means.
