Following the earlier-than-expected availability of Barnes & Noble's Nook at Best Buy, there's some new rumors swirling regarding two new additions to the Nook collection.

The new models will reportedly be named the Nook Lite and Nook 2. Given that the former is a lighter version, there would likely only be Wi-Fi support. Unfortunately, no word on potential upgrades to be found in the second version of the e-reader.

While B&N hasn't confirmed anything, many people seem to be optimistic towards the idea - or at least hopeful thanks to the suspected lower price point. Lacking 3G support, the Lite is expected to be priced at $199. It's refreshing to see prices on e-book readers to finally come down, especially those with more recognizable name brands. But until there are more details released on this edition, we can't be sure if that price is low enough or not.

For Nook owners out there (or even those interested in picking one up), what would you like to see in future versions?
