Answers:
You can pre-order it at B&N. It ships Nov 30 and you can see it in stores then. Source(s): nook.com
Should be 30th Nov.
Since I've looked into comparison between the Nook and the Kindle, so let me tell some more of my comments.
From the administrator page of B&N, here is how the Nook compares with the Kindle:
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/nook/compa…
Since Barnes and Noble page is only mentioning the advantage of the Nook over the Kindle, consent to me try to tell more about the benefit of the Kindle 2 over the Nook:
- There is no internet browser for the Nook. So even with Wi-Fi, you can with the sole purpose use it to purchase book. You cannot do searching in Google, Wikipedia, check email, etc., like what you can do near the Kindle.
- The Amazon Kindle has international free 3G wireless which covers over 100 countries. So even if you're in places like the UK or Australia, you can access the internet next to the Kindle free of charge. The Nook has wireless only within the U.S., and is set for use of buying books only
- The Kindle is available outside the U.S. (it ships to 176 countries), while the Nook only ship within the U.S. at this moment.
- The Kindle have text-to-speech function, so it can treat an ebook like audio book. This function is not present on the Nook.
- Amazon is already doing some change after the Nook is announced (still more than one month for it to be available). They dropped the price of their International Kindle even further. And they are going to release a PC software which can read their Kindle books.
Finally, one point to be aware is that, at first glance you may think the Nook can read ebooks with color touch eyeshade. But indeed the color touch screen is only a small screen beneath the greyscale eink eyeshade, and seems it is only used to browse the cover of ebooks.
In my opinion, it is a tie between the Kindle and the Barnes and Noble. But since you travel every summer, you should stir for the Kindle for sure for the free internet access outside the United States. Moreover, I trust the Kindle will come up with some strategies very soon, like on an upward curve their lending book function. The Kindle is the biggest player in the ereader market right presently, and I believe it will put enormous effort to hold its position.
I recommend this article as well, it is the best review on ebook reader I've ever read:

Should be 30th Nov this year.
I own the Kindle 2 as well. If you ask me to choose again now, I'll still run for the Kindle instead of the Nook, because I think the web browsing function is rather impressive (the Nook does not have a web browser). The free internet (and now it is free international internet) plus the trellis browser allow me to look for information whenever I'm in need. It is really a cool feature that cannot be missed. And right presently it is free for both the U.S. and many other countries, it is just incredible when you bring it to trip.
I like to use the text-to-speech function on the Kindle too, worth that I can "read" with my hands and eyes free...
And I remember I read this review when I decided to win my Kindle:
