Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet event live blog

We're live in NYC at Barnes & Noble's Nook event!

  • We'll be liveblogging the Nook event right here on November 7th at 10:00AM EST / 7:00AM PST.

  • And we're in!
  • It's quite a different atmosphere in here than the Amazon Fire launch. The press are slowly flowing in as some sort of music plays.
  • I'd also like to mention that I am quite happy with the temperature in here. Unlike the Rezound event last week, I'm not freezing to death and I don't feel the need to fire up Flash videos to warm my laptop. Nice work, B&N!
  • Okay, the seats are filling up now. The first four rows are reserved for Barnes & Noble executives. Not fair!
  • Okay, we're being told to mute "all cellphones and personal data devices."
  • The lights have been dimmed. "The program is about to begin.
    "

  • Lacking anything else to snap a picture of, here's Welcome sign number three.

  • B&N CEO William Lynch is out!
  • "
    2011 was our second full year selling digital content. No company grew faster selling digital content this year than B&N."
  • "27 percent of the ebooks sold are through B&N."
  • Talking about the Simple Touch. "It became the first breakthrough product in the e-paper category."
  • Talking about the Nook Color now. "No one thought a color e-reader could work."
  • "We've sold millions."
  • Talking about how they've added apps, magazines, Flash to the browser...
  • "Number two selling tablet in the US, behind only the iPad"
  • Today they are introducing an extension of that product!
  • Here we go...
  • "Most visually appealing HD viewing experience"
  • The Nook Tablet!
  • Looks exactly like the Nook Color, at least from where I am sitting.
  • Showing a video now of the tablet. Lots of videos playing on its screen.
  • Comic books. Millions of songs.
  • 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, under a pound.
  • Lots of cheers for the Tablet!
  • He's holding one up now.
  • Either the screen is absolutely amazing or there's just a sticker on it.
  • Ah, it has an IPS display. LG display. "Vivid View.
    "
  • Lowest reflection and glare and enables unprecedented
    viewing angles.
