Vogue is now available digitally. Starting today, the fashion magazine can be downloaded on the Nook, Nook Color, Kindle Fire and iPad. To make the launch enticing, each platform is offering free trials and Vogue’s print and digital editions are available now for only $19.99, over 50 percent off the cover price.

The digital launch coincides with Vogue’s April issue, featuring Jennifer Lopez or J. Lo or whatever the hell she likes to be called now. In a profile by Jonathan Van Meter, Lopez reveals that she wears a diamond ring that spells, “I love me.”

Jenny From The Block, everyone!

The New York Times and Barnes & Noble have teamed up for quite a deal. From now until March 9, you can get a free Nook Simple Touch or a discounted Nook Color ($99, a $100 discount) when you sign up for a year subscription to the Times.

The subscription package for the Times will run you about $240, but if you’re in the market for an e-reader, this is a great way to get one. And even if you’re not, it’s a great way to get a Nook and then send it to an editor at a blog that you read. Just an idea.

• TVNewser: Anderson Cooper dishes more details about his new daytime show. OH THANK GOD SOMEONE IS FILLING THE OPRAH VOID.
• eBookNewser: A group of Pennsylvania fifth graders were given Nooks to use to complete their summer reading lists. The students were reportedly excited, noting that the Nooks could be used as frisbees and/or “something to dig with.”
• GallleyCat: “Several bidders” in line to purchase Borders book stores have separated themselves from the pack by expressing a deep desire to lose a lot of money.

Even now with 13 blogs in on its roster, it’s not every day that mediabistro.com announces a new blog launch. But today, Morning Media Menu podcast host Jason Boog, the editor of mediabistro.com’s publishing blog GalleyCat, had some big news: the launch of the site’s latest blog, eBookNewser, which he will be overseeing as managing editor.

This morning, Jason and his co-host, AgencySpy‘s Matt Van Hoven, welcomed eBookNewser’s editor Craig Morgan Teicher to the podcast, to help introduce the blog to the world.

Morgan said the blog will be following all the latest digital reading devices, like the Kindle and the Nook, the latest digital publishing applications, and the Google book settlement and all the repercussions the will derive from that. Today’s biggest news is that Barnes & Noble is debuting demos of its Nook device in stores starting today, although no actual devices will be available for sale.

The blog’s launch comes in advance of mediabistro’s conference next week, the eBook Summit on December 15 and 16. For more on the summit and eBooks, head to eBookNewser.com.
