The much ballyhooed e-book reader from Barnes & Noble was officially announced today, as jkOnTheRun reports, and it has a good chance of giving Amazon’s Kindle a run for its money. The $259 Android-based Nook is smaller and thinner than originally thought, and has a small color LCD touchscreen at the bottom that augments the 6-inch E-ink screen above it. The Nook comes with free 3G via AT&T, and launches the day after Spring Design’s similar device. You can find out much more about the impressive Nook here.
