Barnes & Noble Nook Simple Touch Reader goes through the FCC

The new Nook Simple Touch Reader from Barnes & Noble has gone through its paces at the FCC in order to gain approval so that it can meet the June 10th shipping date without missing a beat. Said eBook reader managed to pass the FCC’s scrutiny for its Wi-Fi connectivity capability with flying colors, which makes it “graduate” from the FCC at roughly the same time as that of its future rival, the Kobo Touch Edition

The FCC documents have more or less remained silent where new features are concerned, but we do know that the device has been referred to as the BNRV300 in its FCC filing. As for specifications, Barnes & Noble has pre-empted any need for speculation, having rolled out its specifications for all and sundry. Just in case you missed our earlier coverage, we do know that the Nook Simple Touch Reader will come with a 6″ touchscreen E Ink display at 800 x 600 resolution, 2GB of internal memory, a microSD memory card slot just in case the 2GB isn’t enough for your needs, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi connectivity and a microUSB port.

Measuring 6.5” x 5.0” x 0.47” and weighing a mere 7.5 ounces, Nook claims that this device will boast of up to 2 months of battery life on a Nook Simple Touch Reader can also entertain you with more than 2 million titles on Barnes & Noble’s eBook store.
