The B&N reader (BNR Z100) is a fact. Its FCC authorization materials are a matter of public record. The FCC filing is necessary because the device contains wireless modules. Although at this time the photos and user manual are withheld from public inspection, the correspondence describes the product as "E-book". I think it's an important bellwether of where the publishing and retailing businesses are going. It’s not just a whisper … The B&N reader (BNR Z100) is a fact.

From what I have seen they have the most features on Android with text-to-speech and annotations but have been updating less frequently than usual over the past few weeks. Maybe thats why?
