US bookseller Barnes & Noble is to delay shipping its newly launched Nook electronic reader to its bookstores, so it can instead deliver them on time to customers who have pre-ordered the device.
Barnes & Noble spokeswoman Mary Ellen Keating told Reuters: "We expect to have them in our highest-volume stores on December 7th and in a very limited number." The company had earlier hoped to have a limited number of e-readers in some of its stores around 30th November.
Barnes & Noble launched the e-reader in late October, priced at $259 as a rival to Amazon.com's Kindle.
