Thanks to Jorgen for this link to a story at the Wall Street Journal about the Nook‘s sudden popularity. Apparently, people are so excited about Barnes and Noble’s new eBook Reader that the demand is forcing the Nook’s ship date back to December 11. Anxious consumers will have to pre-order and wait… Looks like B&N played it safe and didn’t count on the Nook flying off the shelves. That market misread is hard to understand. Especially since they’ve made such shrewd moves lately.
Hopefully they won’t suffer from the hesitation since any gap in the highly competitive marketplace will be contested by the many device manufacturers clambering for space.
