From a design standpoint, the new Barnes & Noble Nook e-book device is simply gorgeous. The Nook comes with a dual screen — one to read the book on, and the other to touch and select your books with.
It is available now for $259 pre-order and it really gives Amazon.com’s Kindle a run for its money. If I were to purchase an e-book reading device now, it would be the Nook. Click the images below to see the Nook much bigger.

Book designer Charles Brock gave a unique presentation about the Kindle at this year’s AIGA’s Make/Think conference. If you aren’t understanding it, you need to watch this clip from Office Space. [via]

Sorry for all of the infoMania madness going on today (hey, at least it’s good!), but I just had to share this archive segment of the infoMania Tech Report with Ben Hoffman as he reviews the Amazon Kindle. The Mayor of Television reminded me of just how brilliant Ben’s monotone voice is in making the rest of us realize just how stupidly excited we get over not-so-revolutionary devices [such as the Kindle].
In addition, the article goes into how infoMania is created by a staff of only 15 people, many of whom literally sit around all day and watch terrible TV programming so that they can regurgitate the information back to us in a humorous way. Oh, how I wish I had that job.
? Then you might be interested in the new and improved super-large Kindle DXXX. It’s so big that you can read the Amazon.com website on it. Thanks
