Barnes & Noble sends out invitation for a special event next week

Remember our report about the new eReader Barnes & Noble will be releasing this month? Well, it looks like the announcement is imminent. The media has started receiving invitations to a Barnes & Noble invitation-only event that is happening on May 24^th in New York. While the invitation says nothing about a tablet been announced, the May 24^th date corroborates with the previous report about B&N launching a new eReader on the very same date.

While we do know a new eReader is coming, we still don’t know what it’s going to be: a tablet or a dedicated eReader device? Will it display books in color? Or in black and white? What sort of technology will be used for the display? Since the event is only a week away, we won’t have to wait very long to find out. Are you guys looking forward to a new NOOK?
