New Barnes & Noble Nook pre-orders now shipping after the new year

I guess this should not be all that much of a surprise, after all we have seen the shipping dates get pushed up little by little thus far. However, Barnes & Noble have announced that moving forward any new pre-orders for the Nook will ship next year.

Now, just to squash any confusion, if you have already pre-ordered — your Nook will still be shipping as you were told. This new date is only for new orders. Basically, if you order a Nook today, it will not arrive until just after the new year.

According to the update over on the Barnes & Noble website, new orders will begin shipping around January 4, 2010. But what that really means is some poor sap will end up paying way more than they should because someone is bound to list theirs on eBay.
