My best guess is "too late." BN should already have released a new nook. But looking at their financial troubles, I think a new nook is the least of their worries. Well, I have been waiting for a new nook like for 2 months. As soon as the kindle is available at Staples I think I will grab one. So there is still a little hope.

It would be nice if they would just announce it, so I can go ahead and return my Kindle 3.

It's sad to say but I think B&N is playing a game they don't understand. It fees like they jumped on the eInk bandwagon to stay relevant but didn't expect it to be such a bumpy ride.
I think a year between major hardware revisions is a bit rushed. Still they should release something like a 1.5 everything the same but with the new pearl screen. |

Wow, the results so far are interesting. I'm surprised at the number of people predicting no new nook 2 in the near future. So far we have 19 thinking it will come out sometime soon, split between different months, and 14 who think it won't be anytime soon.
I picked October. My guess is it will be either October or November. It was in one thread here that someone talked to someone from B&N and they insinuated a new one is on its way. I think if that's true, they will want to release it before the holidays, and since it seems that once one is "released" it still takes around a month before they're actually available, my best guess is October. It's going to be interesting to see what actually happens! |

Waiting until next year will be a costly mistake. They can't afford to miss the holiday season ...again.

That doesn't paint a pretty picture. Amazon, Apple, and Sony have deep pockets and can easily afford physical ereaders.
Could explain why B&N only advertises apps and never its ereader. |

I would hardly say they never advertise. The Nook is front and center at bn.com, the posters are all over the store... I don't think I've ever seen Sony advertise their eReader.

Sony can afford not to advertise. They have money. Just look how big and diversified the Sony empire is. |

Yeah, and that cost them customers over the holidays. Who wants to wake up Christmas morning and see a gift wrapped IOU for a Nook still a month or two away?
