Shipment date for Nook pre-orders pushed back

Barnes & Noble is now telling customers who have pre-ordered its Nook e-book reader not to expect delivery until the second week of December, citing strong demand as the reason, according to CNET.  Customers were initially told to expect shipment by the end of November.

The Nook runs on the Android operating system and sports both an e-ink display as well as a color touch screen.  For now, it remains to be seen if a lawsuit by start-up Spring Design for misappropriation of its trade secrets in the Nook's design will result in any further delays.
