It looks like Barnes and Noble is going to ramp up the performance of their eBook Reader, the nook, with some new abilities specifically designed with the bricks and mortar experience in mind. Some of these new elements will only work if you take your nook next time you visit a B&N near you. For instance, your nook will automatically connect to their fast and free Wi-Fi to activate the new Read In Store feature that allows customers to peruse entire eBooks free of charge–in store. Read the rest of the post at TradingMarkets.com for a full list of new features, that includes a wider range for wireless connectivity.
I’m still giving B&N top marks for finding novel ways of integrating the new eBook experience with the traditional bricks and mortar template.
