New Nook starts shipping June 10th, available for pre-order now.

Lynch says B&N is looking into international opportunities ("lots of interest from folks abroad for their devices") but nothing to announce today.
Touchscreen, as expected, uses Neonode infrared technology. Same technology is in Sony Readers and new Kobo.
Device runs on Android 2.1.
New feature: FastPage allows you to zoom forward in book.
Next month launching MyNook, site for sharing with friends.
Built-in WiFi, no 3G.
Shopping experience has been upgraded on device.
6 different fonts, 7 different sizes.
Original Nook pricing is now $119 and $169 (for 3G version) until supplies last.

New Nook, 6-inch Pearl e-ink touch-screen, 7.5 ounces, battery life up to 2 months, built-in Wi-Fi (no 3G), $139, available June 10.
