Engadget noticed that the domain www.NookColor.com has already been registered by B&N. I’d say that pretty much clinches it. Next week’s announcement is almost certainly a color Nook. Then again, they picked up the domain back in March. It might have nothing to do with next week.

October 21st, 2010 · 25 Comments · opinion
If you follow ebook news, you might have heard of a site called GoodEreader.com. At first glance it looks like a news site. It has a blog, podcast, and a monthly magazine, and they even opened an e-reader store last week. But all of that is all a facade that they are using to hide [...]

Kobo to small publishers: Go away! If you’re running a small publishing outfit and want to reach the Kobo/Borders community, forget it: if you publish fewer than 10 titles, they’ll turn away your business.

First look at the Entourage Pocket Edge (video)
October 21st, 2010 · 2 Comments · hardware reviews, video
Ereaders.nl just posted a Youtube video with the first hands on demo of the Pocket Edge. It’s in Dutch, of course. Yes, they did beat me to it. But TBH, I didn’t try to get a video. The hardware is interesting, but it has all the same abilities as the larger version.
