B&N is in a pretty hard position now. If this is a tablet, can they make it either cheaper or better than the Nexus 7 or upcoming new Kindle Fire? (and then there's the rumored mini-iPad)
Given the news about Mirasol, yeah, I'm guessing OLED or similar.

Another possibility would be a Pixel Qi screen, as used on the OLPC. Very good visibility in daylight, and less power consumption.
