Confirmed: B&N to Sell Limited Edition Nook Touch on Friday
My source called the new ereader the Nook Cream, but I'm not so sure that part is true. "Nook Cream" sounds more like a drink for the cafe, not a gadget. But since I don't have any pictures or brochures yet, I decided to share the name anyway.
While I may not be able to substantiate the product name, I did manage to confirm 1 detail. I've heard via another channel that at least one store has received boxes of a Nook product that isn't supposed to be opened until Friday. I did not get any info on what's in the boxes, just that they've arrived in the store. But that's enough to decide what I'll be doing on Friday.
If anyone knows more about this cream-colored Nook Touch, please let me know. Comments can be anonymous and I never reveal my sources.
Nook Latte? Anyway, I wonder if it will have the same grippy surface. If so, bound to get dirty real quick.
So wait. Now it’s NOT cream, just $79?
Hmm, are they also releasing a white one? The one on the website is black.
Look at the lower corners. It looks to me like the back will be white.
Ah, good catch.
A white backing? DAMMIT! Now I have to go to a B&N just to get a damn photo, if possible.
$79? Damn, I recently ordered a refurb from their ebay store.
thankfully the store opens at 8am, i won’t have to get up at 2am to get one of these, what a steal for $79
A receiving worker who didn’t use the scanner correctly accidentally opened our boxes early. We received 70 STs that scan as “Nook Cream.”
Crossing my fingers that the employee discount will still go on the $79 devices…
I can’t confirm the white back/black front, but we were told it will be a “white bezel” (although in the photo, it looks like a black and white bezel).
