The device would be a tablet, e-reader or mishmash, and be the first device outside of Microsoft to use Xbox Live video streaming. You know... Xbox Live video streaming? That thing you might consider using when Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, HBO GO, Crackle, YouTube and live television aren't available.

Anyway, all will be revealed today at 6:30 Eastern, 3:30 Pacific. Head on over to Engadget this evening for the liveblog.

Update: Or not, according to Barnes & Noble.

Amazon lists the book as a 400-page "Mass Market Paperback" by Andy McNab, an author and war-vet who, according to Gamersbook, has been advising BF3 developer DICE on their motion-capture techniques. Barnes & Nobel also has a listing for Battlefield 3, this time in as a Nook eBook, with both McNab and BF3 Executive Producer Patrick Bach cited as authors.

We can also assume that these listing aren't for a strategy guide, as the "Mass Market Paperback" classification is reserved for novels and the like, whereas strategy guides are classified as "Paperbacks." The tremendously tantalizing tome is available for pre-order at both outlets, with Amazon listing the release date as October 25 and B&N reporting a November release window. We've reached out to the book's registered publisher, Grand Central Publishing, for more information.
