With all of the Nook chatter going down at Best Buy lately, it was bound to become official sooner or later: as of this morning Reuters is reporting that the retailer will start carrying Barnes and Noble’s e-reader beginning, as previously reported, on April 18. We just hope you can contain your excitement until then — we know we’ll be doing our best.
Update: We just got our hands on the PR, and here is a little more detail: Not only will the Nook and B&N eBook giftcards be available at Best Buy locations and in its online store, the Geek Squad is also apparently hard at work installing the Nook eReader software on “select PCs, netbooks, tablets and smartphones” sold in its stores. The device is set to retail for $260. Peep the PR for yourself after the break.
