Barnes & Noble has confirmed that new Nook e-readers will launch in 2026. While specific details remain scarce, industry trends and hints from the interview suggest potential upgrades such as color E Ink displays, audiobook and note taking support. With the current Nook lineup showing its age—most notably running, on outdated software—the upcoming release could mark a significant shift for B&N. However, questions remain about the company's ability to deliver more advanced, software-driven devices.
