Thanks to a very generous anonymous tipster, we've gotten a number of hands-on pics of Barnes & Noble (http://www.engadget.com/tag/BarnesNoble/)'s soon to be released (for some (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-early-adopters-promised-a-december-9th-shipment-10-online/)) Nook (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Nook/) e-reader. The impressions we've been given, however, weave a tale of a laggy Android interface, which sounds like what we noticed with the first introduction video (http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/barnes-and-noble-officially-launches-nook-e-reader-259-pre-orde/). Other fun facts include in-store WiFi browsing coming in 2010, and an important clarification that cover-to-cover book browsing over BN's network only works for an hour at a time, not unlimited. We're itching to get our own hands on it, but in the meantime, gloss over these gracious pics.
