New Barnes & Noble Nook pre-orders now receiving later shipping date

We saw the report about the Nook gaining some popularity in terms of pre-orders, well Barnes & Noble has taken that one step further and confirmed that any newly placed pre-orders will be getting a later shipping date.

According to a spokesperson from Barnes & Noble that new shipping date is December 11. Basically, this is about a two week jump from the previous shipping date of November 30. All things considered that is not all that bad, especially considering those who ordered will still have a before holiday delivery, just in case the Nook was purchased as a gift.

That said, that same spokesperson also went on to state that they (Barnes & Noble) “are working hard to meet demand for the holidays.” Still, one more delay of about two weeks could jeopardize a holiday delivery. In other words, I would suggest that if you are looking to give the Nook as a gift this holiday season you may want to think about getting an order in.

The one piece of information that I am curious to read are some stats in terms of units sold. But as you would expect, there was not any comment given there, other than saying that Barnes & Noble “had high expectations for the Nook and couldn’t be happier.”
