Barnes & Noble is throwing its hat into the e-book ring with the Nook, a $259 reader with a 7.7 inch screen. It is the first color reader, features 3G Wireless and Wi-Fi, and will work with either PCs or Macs. Most interestingly, it also includes something called the "LendMe" feature, which allows Nook owners to lend e-books to friends with similar devices for a two week period.

I'm still not buying one of these suckers until they drop way, way in price (like, halfway), but they're getting cooler, huh?
