We announced a Barnes and Noble’s event set for October 20. We are expecting an e-book reader and eversince we heard of the rumor, we’ve only been seeing a sketch. This time though, an image of what looks like the real thing.

Looking at the photo, the e-book reader has a color display, dual panel, e-ink, and touchscreen functions. This one is expected for a Spring 2010 release but we’ll know for sure next week.
