B&N's Nook Color is now shipping for pre-order customers, gets a good review

The Nook Color is now shipping for pre-order customers. It's also available in "very limited" quantities in some retail stores. The Nook Color costs $249.

Engadget has posted a nice review of the Nook Color. And they seem to like it: they say that if you want an e-reader but also want to read color magazines and newspaper, then the Nook Color is the "first viable option we've seen that can support your habit".
