The conversation with sales person seems to suggest that nook will be available in-store November 20. Here is the relevant section from Reader.ly: Finally I spotted a cashier before she disappeared behind a large reading glasses display. I sprinted over to her. “Can I see a nook?” I asked breathlessly. She shook her head. “It’s not available until November 20th. The best way to get a nook is to go to the web site, bn.com, and you can place a pre-order for it.” [...] [...] Reader.ly describes a fascinating experience as as an avid and enthusiastic e-book lover in search of nook at a B&N store which is supposed to be available November 30.

They don't have any product to sell yet and the Holiday shopping season is starting, so they're trying to stop you from purchasing anything else until they do have product available. Even what they're offering right now isn't that magic Plastic Logic full touchscreen unit promised for next year. From what I've heard so far you may *not* want to preorder this unit until you see it in person. The return policies on it are far worse than that for the Amazon Kindle or other readers. Curiously, and I don't know if coincidentally as well, the 5 titles I did have on their eBook site (out of 11 I've published overall) outright disappeared in the last day or so, along with a whole lot of other titles that I'm aware of - and perhaps many that I don't know of. How removing titles for sale (everything is still up at Fictionwise, the BN subsidiary) is moving towards being a force in the eBook market totally escapes me. --DB_Story http://excessica.com/index.php/search-by-author/db-story/ It’s called FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt).

That makes sense, and the leaked photos and specs may have also forced their hand early. So we'll see, maybe in the next couple of weeks we'll see more displays in the stores. It just seems like they're missing out on a captive audience once someone has stepped foot inside their doors. Hi Karen, thanks for stopping by!

Possibly, they made the announcement now, to stop folks from ordering Kindles as Christmas gifts, but really, they aren't ready.
