The Android-based Nook e-book reader from Barnes & Noble won't be shipping out until December 11, and that's only the first batch. This is according to Barnes & Noble itself, saying that stronger demand that expected is pushing them to delay the product's release. They won't say just how many Nooks have been pre-ordered since the day it was announced and became available for pre-order, but it must be a pretty great number and it's not really that surprising. Perhaps the consumers see potential in an e-book reader that's running Google's Android operating system. It does look very promising after all, and we hope to get out hands on one for a full test of its features.
