Looks like Barnes & Noble's web guys got a little trigger-happy: their hybrid E-Ink LCD e-reader is online-official, with Wi-Fi and AT&T 3G, person-to-person book lending, and 2GB of memory. Preorders are already live.
To be clear, this is the same device we showed you quite a while ago—a smallish (7.7 x 4.9 x .5, it turns out) e-reader with two screens, a 6-inch E ink display up top, for displaying book text, and a 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD down below, for navigation.
Connectivity comes by way of free AT&T 3G as well as 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, while storage duties fall to the 2GB of internal memory, as well as an microSD expansion slot. Barnes & Noble claims charge time of 3.5 hours—by microUSB, thankfully—which'll let you read for "up to ten days," which is a curiously indirect way of describing battery life, and doesn't really say much about what "reading" means? With constant LCD use? Occasional? None?
