Computerworld - Barnes & Noble has invited the news media to a New York event on Monday, sparking speculation that the bookseller will announce a lower-cost Nook Color tablet computer that matches or beats the $199 price of the upcoming Kindle Fire.

It looks like a flood of new tablets will hit the streets right before the Kindle Fire is released. I'm still sticking with the Kindle Fire for me. I'll use it as a low light environment eReader to supplement my 3rd Generation Kindle Keyboard WiFi.

By the way, see this link:

Evidently some publishers are being allowed by Amazon to limit the number of devices on which their eBook can be read. Thus, those buying non-Fire tablets may NOT be able to read some Amazon eBooks on their non-Amazon devices. Even those using a Kindle 3, a PC and a Kindle Fire may soon only be able to install their eBooks on just one of those devices - not all.
