Barnes & Noble is taking pre-orders for the Nook, which will ship at the end of November and cost US$259.Besides the color screen and WiFi support, the main advantage touted by Barnes & Noble over the Kindle is the Nook's LendMe feature. This lets one Nook owner pass an e-book to another device with supported e-reading software -- such as an iPhone or iPod Touch, certain BlackBerry or Motorola smartphones, or a Mac or PC -- where it can be viewed for up to 14 days.
Other highlighted advantages include the ability to synchronize notes between devices.
In further news, Barnes & Noble and Adobe announced a partnership to standardize the EPUB and PDF formats for e-books.
Furthermore, Barnes & Noble plans to adopt Adobe Content Server as a DRM solution for downloaded digital content.
The partnership is described as a benefit to consumers because it will enable the bookseller to provide a wide variety of content across a wide range of devices.
