Barnes & Noble has introduced its new Nook — a more elementary, less expensive black and white WiFi e-reader device geared toward a simpler market and hoping to compete in the growing e-reader field. The new Nook unrolls with some key differences from its predecessors and competitors. Primarily, it features a touchscreen and offers a battery life of up to two months. The device uses e-Ink, the same as the Amazon Kindle, to offer a book-like level of contrast and what some say is a more eye-friendly reading experience than a tablet or computer screen.
