Nook Arrives at Walmart

Do you want to purchase Barnes & Noble's Nook? Barnes & Noble last week announced they are expanding the Nook's availability. No longer do you have to go to a Barnes & Noble or Best Buy; you can head on over to your local Walmart or online at Walmart.com to pick up this popular eBook reader.

Beginning this week, Walmart is carrying two Nook by Barnes & Noble eBook Reader models -- Nook 3G, which offers free AT&T 3G wireless and Wi-Fi connectivity, as well as Nook Wi-Fi, a Wi-Fi only model. Both feature a paper-like E Ink display for reading and color touch screen for navigation.

The Nook eBook Readers will be featured as the premier eBook Reader in the consumer electronics area. Many Walmart stores will feature a Nook-branded eReading area where you demo the unit yourself before purchasing.

"Sales of NOOK devices continue to exceed our expectations, and we are thrilled to be able to partner with Walmart, one of the world's greatest retailers, to expand the distribution of our award-winning NOOK eBook Reader," said Chris Peifer, Vice President, Digital Business Development at Barnes & Noble. "Walmart's millions of shoppers will have an easy and convenient way to try NOOK devices in many stores and to learn why NOOK is the most full-featured eReading device on the market, and the perfect gift solution for anyone who loves to read."
