This undated image provided by Barnes & Noble shows one of the two new Nook tablets the company will be releasing in the fall of 2012. The company said Wednesday, Sept. 26, 2012, that its new Nook HD will come in two sizes, one with a screen 7-inches wide diagonally, the same size as past Nooks, starting at $199, and one with a new 9-inch diagonal screen, called the Nook HD+, starting at $269. In addition to the new HD screen and a lighter body, Barnes & Noble is also increasing the services the Nook offers. It is adding a video purchase and rental service, allowing user profiles and making it easier to browse titles in its book and magazine stores. (AP Photo/Barnes & Noble)
Mesa’s libraries now have Nook e-readers available for checkout at the city’s four branch locations. Of the 38 Nooks, about half will have pre-loaded popular titles. Some e-readers will be empty so patrons can download the e-books of their choice, and several will have popular titles pre-loaded but can only be checked out for one week.

NEW YORK — Barnes & Noble is rolling out two new versions of its Nook tablet with sleek new hardware and a sharper high-definition screen. The bookseller's move heightens the already intense tablet wars heading into the holiday season.

Christmas is where you find it. Many folks find it in the stillness of a Nativity scene. Others get their seasonal joy in the closeness of loved ones. Some catch the spirit hunting colored lights in the nooks of local suburban cul-de-sacs, or in the rhyming epiphany of the Grinch on Mount Crumpet.
Like so many things in our modern world, the bookmobile has gone digital.
The summer is kicking off with a price war over electronic reading devices.
Barnes & Noble started the action this week by dropping the price of its popular Nook reader from $259 to $199. That led Amazon to knock $70 off its Kindle; its $189 price undercuts the Nook by 10 bucks.
Both devices are 3G-capable, which means you use the cellular networks to download books. (Users don't have to pay monthly services for this product.) If you just want a Wi-Fi product, Barnes & Noble offers a $159 Nook that does not have 3G.
Forrester Research backed up my theory that e-reader prices will need to drop $50 to $100 before gaining mass acceptance. And when will that be? My bet is this Christmas. And by Christmas 2011, with little need for solo-use devices, these things will be in Happy Meals.
Amazon and Barnes & Noble, facing tough competition, had little choice but to cut prices. Apple's iPad now owns the expensive space at $499, and a whole slew of Google Android tablets -- aimed at the middle ground -- are about to hit the market. They may give the iPad a run for its money.
The Android tablets have a real opportunity. They can come in with color options, 3G connectivity and multitasking at a very low price and really screw up the market. But Apple may have something up its sleeve: When its next iPad comes out in a little while with the camera and multitasking abilities, the current $499 model could go to $299. Remember all those people who paid top dollar for the first iPhones, only to find them in the bargain bin in a few months?
What the dedicated readers have going for them are elegant, backlit screens and great battery life. If you're on a plane for a long time, you want the Kindle's 30 hours and not the iPad's eight to 10 hours. So score one for the Kindle and the Nook. The iPad and Android devices have to fix the screen and battery life for low-power consumption in book reading.
Meanwhile, companies can work on deals with major magazine and newspaper publishers to reduce the devices' prices. (Buy a three-year subscription to an online newspaper or magazine and get $10 off the reader, etc.)
Publishers need to do something about book prices. As an author, I can tell you there are significant costs in printing and distributing the physical book. E-books need to be lots cheaper than they are now to make this whole model work well.
The recent success of Amazon's Kindle Fire has given Google hope that the small-screen, inexpensive tablet market is worth pursuing. Google has set the tech world abuzz by announcing its new Nexus 7 tablet, the result of a partnership with ASUS, a multinational computer hardware and electronics company.

Small spaces have their challenges, to be sure, but there is always a solution to making the most of tight spots. I get a real thrill when I come across well-executed design that has a distinct visual stamp to it. Since rooms are more multipurpose than ever, experiment with materials that will alter the ambiance of a single section. The work space shown here is part of a contemporary bedroom that has white walls. A nook has been carved out just large enough for a sleek desktop. The wood-clad inner walls set this section apart, show a different purpose and warm up the work space like wood paneling in a library or den would do.
I love watching “Seinfeld!” I can watch the same episode numerous times and never get tired of it. I especially like how they develop certain characters and phrases. One of my favorite phrases is “one of those guys” who do or say certain things that brand them as different from George and Jerry, such as a guy who can walk right up to a complete strange girl and ask her out. George and Jerry could never do that because they were not “one of those guys.”
Imagine your beautiful brand-new home.
