$\"\"$ <\/a>Barnes & Noble has come up with one of those ideas that’s so obvious, it’s genius.\u00c2\u00a0While\u00c2\u00a0it may not be the first company\u00c2\u00a0to try\u00c2\u00a0break into Amazon’s monopoly on electronic book readers (Sony’s Readers\u00c2\u00a0are – rather unsuccessfully – attempting that feat already), B&N has <\/em>figured out how to combine the best existing features into one eReader. Since the Sony Reader Touch<\/strong> has an LCD touchscreen (great in theory, but not <\/em>so much after an hour of eye-strain inducing, glare-filled reading) and the Kindle<\/strong> has a terrific (but slow moving) E-Ink\u00c2\u00a0screen, the B&N Athena<\/strong> will have two screens: one\u00c2\u00a0large, E-ink panel for reading and\u00c2\u00a0one smaller, multitouch LCD panel (much like\u00c2\u00a0the iPhone’s) for fast browsing. Plus, unlike any other device out so far,\u00c2\u00a0this LCD screen will be in COLOR. Seems like this could be the one to beat!<\/p>\n
