Many suggest that this could be the event where B&N would announce the much-rumored next-generation Nook tablet featuring a faster processor, more memory and an enhanced display. It is also possible that B&N may use this event to announce a price drop of Nook tablets already available in the market. Besides that, it is expected to introduce a Kindle Fire tablet just a week before the Kindle Fire starts shipping.
The Kindle Fire is priced at $199 while the tablet actually costs $220 for Amazon per unit.
