Barnes & Noble Trademark Applications Hint at Future Devices
Posted in: barnes noble, nook, Today's Chili 
Is Barnes & Noble planning a follow up to the Nook? Well, duh. The company scored hits with the first Nook and the Nook Color–it even managed to eat into some of Amazon’s massive Kindle market share with the device. Like any other company with a business sense, Barnes & Noble did the logical thing, applying for trademarks by the boatload.
A number have surfaced recently, including “Nook2,” “NookSmart,” “Nook Kids,” and “Nook Cook.” Of course, it’s impossible to say whether the company actually intends to use any of these specific names or whether it’s just covering all of its bases.
It’s also impossible to know whether the applications are intended for hardware, software, or sections of the online bookstore, though “Nook2” certainly seems to hint at a sequel to the original E-Ink device.
