Oh, look, it's another new e-reader!

Barnes & Noble has something new up their sleeve, and it's in the form of a new six-inch Nook. This isn't the Nook Color. This is back to basics with the e-ink technology that made e-readers famous in the first place. This time Barnes & Noble has fully embraced touch-screen technology, but there is much more here than meets the eye.

The six-inch Nook features a full touch-screen display, which is different from the original Nook in that only the lower portion of it was touch-enabled and had a color display. You lose the color display entirely here, but what you gain is so much more.

  • Six-inch touchscreen
  • Up to two months of usage on a single charge
  • Ultra-fast page turning with almost no flicker
  • Weighs eight ounces
  • Access to over two million titles
  • Nook Friends allows sharing and social functionality

Kobo's latest e-reader

Be sure to check out some video by Engadget of the new Nook in action. It looks incredible so far.
