Is this the forthcoming Barnes and Noble e-book reader? Gizmodo thinks so. The site claims to have gotten its bloggy paws on leaked pictures of the Plastic Logic designed device, which is set to finally be made official a week from yesterday.

If the images are to be believed, it's a slick little device--definitely much more of a looker that its chief competitor, the Amazon Kindle. The player also sports a dual screen. The top portion is a traditional black-and-white electronic ink display, similar to the one on the Kindle. The bottom is a color widget-filled dealie.

According to recent reports, the device is on-track for a spring 2010 release.
