According to Associated Press, Barnes & Noble Inc. Inc. will unveil an electronic-book reader Tuesday to compete with Amazon.com's Kindle.
The wireless reader will be called the "Nook" and sell for $259 — the same as the recently reduced Kindle. The newspaper cited an ad to run in its book review section Sunday.
The reader will offer a color touch screen, according to the Times, and there was speculation in blogs that it will let users loan e-books to other people.
