Barnes And Noble Book Reader Finally Revealed After Years Of Development

It’s been under development for years, has featured several devices of different sizes and capabilities and is about a year late to market, but at least it’s finally arriving and the Barnes and Nobles e-reader looks like a development project years in the making, evoking what compares to a combination of an iPhone mashed into an Amazon Kindle.

The unit features a black and white e-ink screen and offers the type of multi-touch gesturing found on the iPhone, while also running the Google Android OS.

Barnes and Noble have also announced that the books they sell through their own publishing company will be sold at hefty discounts in electrical form when compared to those same books in print. The reader is also slated to have access to at least some of the books scanned by the Google Books project.

The name is supposedly horrid for the device, but has yet to be revealed to the public. [More Photos: Gizmodo]
