Barnes & Noble is set to announce a new version of the Nook at a ‘very special event’ in New York City this week–this much we seem to know for sure. Okay, well, not for sure, for sure, but the event coincides nicely with the anniversary of the first Nook, announced roughly a year ago.
In what’s becoming something of a habit amongst tech companies, the bookseller has apparently leaked out some details about a Nook successor. The site briefly posted a product page for an screen protecting film–an accessory for the Nook Color.
There’s obviously not a lot of information about the device, at present–the information was pulled from the site pretty quickly. CNET does, however, have information from the proverbial “anonymous tipster,” who told the site that the device features a full-color tablet-like touchscreen, runs Android (like its predecessor), and is priced at $249–high for the current crop of eBook readers, but certainly well below the iPad’s starting price.
