I hope it isn't true, but even if it is, I'd consider buying a B&N ebook device IF -- and that's a big IF -- it is open (relatively speaking) rather than closed. If it is simply a B&N version of the Kindle and essentially a closed device, I'll pass, even though I spend a lot of money at B&N buying pbooks and have started buying at Fictionwise.
