<\/a>We told you about Barnes & Noble’s rumored eReader last week<\/a>, and now it’s official. The Barnes & Noble Nook <\/a>(previously\u00c2\u00a0known as\u00c2\u00a0the Athena)\u00c2\u00a0is getting rave reviews – not just for the fantastic dual\u00c2\u00a0E-Ink and color LCD touchscreen we told you about, but also because it will\u00c2\u00a0 let you temporarily lend your book to a friend (as long as they have a Blackberry, iPhone, or other eReader) AND access\/read local library books for free! Plus, at $259, it’s the same price as the Kindle. Let the eReading commence!<\/p>\n
