    Ahh! I'm so confused! Your article says you want a Nook, but the ads accompanying your RSS feed in my reader are advertising both the Nook and Kindle! Whatever will I do?! #internationalkindle

    @Armin Molavi: Absolutely! And better than the nook sharing. Apparently they only let you lend a book once and not all books, either. It's one of those things that's up to the publishers like Amazon's Text to Speech thing. #internationalkindle

    In reply to Amazon Combats The Nook By Dropping the International Kindle Price By $20
    First of all, the Nook doesn't do overseas except presumably by WiFi, so I don't really see this as competing. It's more of a recognition by Amazon that they really only need one model - the one that works everywhere. I imagine since they released that most folks have opted for the extra $20 just to know that if they did travel abroad they'd be covered. I know I would have.

    As for "reading books overseas" I think most folks who travel abroad frequently, and probably every expat, will appreciate the opportunity to get local news delivered automatically. #internationalkindle

    @weatherman: Considering MOST "folks" and "expat"'s have access to WiFi. I believe the Nook (being android) will also be able to handle "other" wireless internet carries with its amazing ability to support third party apps. Go figure. #internationalkindle

    @Grendel: I was just reading this from their FAQ [www.barnesandnoble.com]

    Q. Can I use my nook while traveling abroad?

    X Yes, when you travel abroad, you can read any files that are already on your nook. You can connect to Wi-Fi hotspots that do not use proxy security settings, such those commonly used in hotels, and download eBooks and subscriptions already in your online digital Library. You cannot, however, purchase additional eBooks and subscriptions.

    That just makes no sense to me. Even before the Kindle had an international version, you could go online and order stuff when you were out of the country. You just had to connect your Kindle to the computer via USB and transfer the book. I don't see why B&N would need to block access to the store when you're overseas. There are rights issues with people who live overseas buying US ebooks, sure, but that shouldn't apply here. I'm hoping that's just a mistake. #internationalkindle

    @FigNinja: If I'm not mistaken, Amazon requires you to buy/download the said "ebook" ONLINE onto a computer. Not the actual kindle device whilst abroad. #internationalkindle

    It is ugly, but the concept is very good. Dedicated ebooks are not the answer, if I am going to carry around something as big as an ebook, I want it to do more than just display a book. Until we get colour screens as crisp as an ebook, these hybridized transitional forms are the next best thing. #entourageedge

    In reply to enTourage Edge: Half Ebook Reader, Half Tablet, All Hideous
    Personally I think the idea is great. I'm not sure I would call the thing hideous but it certainly use some work. Why use such a thick and chunky bezel? Whats with that hinge? Is is functional ie; you can use the screens back to back so you can see one at-a-time is desired? or is it simply a misguided design statement?

    I say thin up that bezel, and ditch the white/grey color scheme/laMe Name and you might have a pretty nice piece of hardware. #entourageedge

    @Bertone77: Click the link and you'll see that the hinge does in fact let you use it back to back so you can see one at a time, and there are four colors available, two different blues, and a red, not just the white/grey.

    I wonder what this will do for book piracy through ereaders.
    And competition.
    Might their downloads work on Kindles? (I doubt it, but it wouldn't be a necessarily BAD idea.)
    Will this prompt non ridiculous pricing from Amazon and Barnes on ebooks?

    I know you guys have all this "inside information" about some sort of Barnes and Noble reader. But if my sources are correct, I hear they're aiming to compete directly with Apple by opening up a series of Bea Arthur theme parks throughout the U.S., celebrating her life and career.
