This is what I've gathered [stolen] from various websites and posts:
Engadget has been invited to the press event.
Press event is being held in Union Square which is a much smaller venue than last year.
Store staffing levels increased and hired temporary workers for next week.
FCC hasnt as of yet indicated new device.
B&N has a partnership with a German ebook store where nook owners can purchase german books directly on their nooks.
It seems that there are multiple announcements indicated because there are conflicting info....
Tech company invites = new device
Small venue = fewer media expected
Staffing = immediate increase in store traffic = lower price/promotion
FCC = no wifi or 3G device = wired Nook or rebranded 3rd party device
German partnership = international nook
