Barnes and Noble to release digital book reader?

Barnes & Noble Inc., the largest U.S. bookstore chain, may release a handheld device for reading digital versions of books.


Speculators believe that an e-mailed invitation it has scheduled a “major event in the company’s history” for Oct. 20 in New York, may be the announcement of a digital book reader.

Booksellers are trying to compete with Amazon.com Inc.’s Kindle and Sony Corp.’s electronic book readers and mirror the success of Apple’s iTunes.

Apple gained market share fast and locked up the relationships and the customers.
