If you were hoping to give someone a Barnes & Noble nook ebook reader for the holidays, you have hopefully already placed your order. Otherwise, you’re going to have to come up with a Plan B. The recently unveiled ebook reader is now sold out and new orders are now showing shipment dates of early January.
A company spokesperson indicated that Barnes & Noble had increased production due to the high interest but that it was still not enough to meet the demand before the holidays. There may still be some nooks at Barnes & Noble stores but these are in limited supply as well and are expected to go quickly.
Should you still want to give a nook for Christmas, you will receive a holiday certificate that notes a January shipping date.
