Is Nook Going International Soon?

A new FCC report reveals that B&N is coming with new Nook. According to Ubergizmo:

the main difference from the existing Nook will be that its Sierra Wireless 3G modem supports the 850MHz and 1900MHz bands, though it drops support for the 2100MHz band. Such a move means more international 3G bands will be supported, which is good news for users. Pictures of the device weren’t available just yet, as the company has filed for a 180 day secrecy document, which is the maximum time period that a company can apply for.

So we don’t know anything more than that. What are the extra enhancements are coming with the new Nook – not sure at this point. However, it seems that B&N is getting ready to launch a international Nook like Kindle Global edition. B&N wants to go head to head with Amazon. For us, its a good news. We want to see more competition. Such competition will determine not only the prices of ebooks, but also which ebook formats are more reliable – Kindle’s propitiatory AWZ or industry standard ePub.
