It seemed like this was going to be the holiday shopping season of the e-reader.
But that was before Barnes & Noble told customers it had run short on pre-orders of its new electronic book reader, the Nook. That device was poised to be a big holiday competitor to the more-established Amazon Kindle.
Barnes & Noble says customers who pre-order the Nook now won't get the device until the week of January 4 - after the holiday shopping season. A limited number of the devices will be available for sale in some of the "highest volume" Barnes & Noble stores.
In an e-mail, spokeswoman Mary Ellen Keating said early sales of the Nook beat the bookseller's expectations.
