Barnes and Noble is set to introduce their eBook reader later this week, but Gizmodo (on a tablet roll lately) beat them to it. Hardware-wise it is an interesting concoction. It is Amazon Kindle-like eInk on top, iPhone like multi-touch color on the bottom. The mullet of tablets?
But is having it both ways better? The interface will tell the tale and for that, we'll probably have to wait until October 20th. We have to say, however, that we like that Barnes and Noble is breaking this out rather than trying to ride its traditional business into the ground.
