Barnes & Noble sent invitations to members of the press for its November 7 event. The gathering will follow the bookseller’s tradition of holding events in its Union Square bookstore in New York City. Nothing is mentioned of the contents other than the Nook logo and promises of a “very special announcement.”
The timing supports rumors of a Nook Color sequel or higher-end model arriving at the same time. The event may show a new Nook to take on the Kindle Fire.
