We contacted Barnes & Noble to find out more, and they sent us the following statement from a filing with the SEC: “In a meeting with investor analysts on May 4, 2011, Barnes & Noble, Inc. (the ‘Company’) indicated it expects to make an announcement on May 24, 2011 regarding the launch of a new eReader device.” Just in time for Book Expo.
Analysts are already speculating that the new eReader will be an update to the black and white eInk Nook.
