Barnes & Noble announced Wednesday that it has begun shipping its Simple Touch Reader, the latest in its line of Nook ereader devices.
Although it's no Kindle killer, the $139 ereader boasts some impressive stats, including two months of battery life, a 6-inch, E-Ink touchscreen display and built-in Wi-Fi . At 5 x 6.5 inches, it's 1.5 inches shorter than the Kindle, and 1 ounce lighter (7.5 ounces).
