Today the new version 2.0 of the Barnes and Noble eReader software for the PC launched. The new version was timed to coincide with initial customer delivery of the first nooks (Barnes and Noble's eReader device) and supports lending and eBooks, eMagazines and eNewspapers in the ePub format.

If you haven't ordered your nook already, you likely won't be getting one for the holidays. Unless that is, you are fortunate enough to find one at a local Barnes and Noble store. I hear that the flagship 5th Avenue store in Mew York City will have 13 available on Monday morning. My wife I overheard a bookseller at the local New Jersey store say that they will have three.
