There’s a new e-reader on the block that I think will give Amazon some much needed competition. The Nook is a new e-reader from Barnes & Noble. There are two features of the Nook that are sorely missing in the Kindle. First is the ability to loan books to a friend. The loaned ebook can be accessed on a PC or even a Blackberry device. No Nook required! That’s huge. The second feature is the ability to access Barnes & Noble’s entire ebook collection wirelessly with the Nook when you’re in the store. If Barnes & Noble gets some comfortable seating I might be swayed to trade my Kindle in for a Nook.
