Barnes & Noble E-Reader could come with lending options

Barnes & Noble is set to introduce its own six-inch touch-screen device to compete with Amazon's Kindle.  The bookseller will likely introduce it on October 20. The company has an event planned for that day at Chelsea Piers in New York, for what an invitation calls "a major event in our company's history." Barnes & Noble (borrowing a leaf from the Apple playbook) has no comment.

About this Blog

While Barnes & Noble has made its e-book store available on a range of devices, including the iPhone, BlackBerry and coming e-readers from Plastic Logic and Irex, it has always left open the possibility that it would develop and sell its own device in partnership with an Asian manufacturer.
