I Shall Crush this Rumor Part 2: Barnes and Noble is not making an ereader with color screen


I don’t think that I reported on this as yet, but someone reported that Barnes and Noble had teamed up with Plastic Logic to produce an ereader with a color screen. That someone is seen in the video before you, and I feel sorry for this reporter that isn’t seen.

Yes, that new development was quite a scoop, but it was not true. In company statement, Barnes and Noble said that the person in this video was not an authorized Barnes and Noble spokesperson, but he apparently had enough money to spring for a T-shirt.

Okay, I said that last part, but hey, you can see how one bit of misinformation can really screw things up.
