Nook Shipment Date Gets Pushed Back on New Pre-orders
Brighthand and CNET report that Barnes and Noble has pushed back shipment dates for the Nook. Those who were first to order the Nook were told it would be shipped by the end of November. People ordering the Nook now are being told it will be shipping in the second week of December. A Barnes and Noble spokesperson told CNET that were happy with the demand for the device but wouldn't give details about how many units have been purchased.
"Like with any hot new consumer device, the sooner you order it the sooner you receive it," said Mary Ellen Keating, senior vice president of corporate communications and public affairs. "We had high expectations for the Nook and couldn't be happier" with pre-order sales, she said. However, she declined to say how many of the e-readers had been pre-ordered.
"We are working hard to meet demand for the holidays," she said.
If the Nook is a device you want to give as a Christmas gift you would be wise to order it soon.
