NOOK COLOR SHIPPING EARLY

The Nook Color, $249, has started to ship to pre-order customers. It was originally slated to begin shipping November 19th, however Barnes and Noble moved that date up by almost a week. In addition to those who pre-ordered or reserved their device, there will be limited quantities available through retail outlets like Best Buy, Barnes and Noble, Walmart and Books-A-Million.
