Barnes & Noble (BKS) May Be Gearing Up for New eReader

Over the weekend, the NYTimes had a piece suggesting Barnes & Noble (NYSE: BKS) is using its NOOK reader in a fight for it's life against Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN). A sentence in the middle of the article alludes to B&N engineers "putting the final touches" on its fifth eReading device...

No detail beyond that was given in the article, so naturally speculation should start. Leading that speculation is CNET, which wonders if the device will be a larger version of the current NOOK, maybe a smaller, more affordable version, or just vastly upgraded technology.

Midday last Friday, B&N shares moved higher following reports of possible overseas expansion for the NOOK. The NYTimes mulled a possible first stop for the NOOK at Waterstones bookstores in Britain.

B&N shares are down less than 1 percent just after the opening bell Monday.
