Barnes & Noble Nook sold out until 2010

Barnes & Noble Nook sold out until 2010 Barnes & Noble has said today that the Nook e-reader is sold out for 2009, and all orders placed past today will not ship until January 4th.

Those who wanted the e-reader for Christmas will be out of luck, but will receive a certificate “that promises a Nook reader when it ships.”

B&N has said the delays are due to high demand, but it is equally as likely that the company is having production-related shortages.

The Nook is based on the Android platform and has removable storage, Wi-Fi, and a color touchscreen, all advantages over the market leader Amazon Kindle.
