Forget the new Apple products from yesterday, the big news of the day was the Barnes & Noble Nook reader that might just shake up the stale e-book reader image the Kindle has in-part created.

Yesterday’s coverage has been condensed below for your viewing pleasure just in case you missed something.

Nope, just a regular e-ink screen as far as I’ve been able to research.
