So there's this new eBook reader from B&N that has the android on it:

I'm just really curious to know whether or not they are using a "sim" or if its some how programmed in the reader to connect to AT&T's network.

Anyways, if your familiar with mobile broadband companies like AT&T then i think you know what i am getting at here.

Any thoughts on how the reader connects to AT&T's broadband would be appreciated. I am debating on buying one and taking it apart, but its 259.00 that i don't really want to waste.

Hmm, are you thinking in terms of trying to tether another device onto it?

I really was hoping to just find a "SIM" card inside of the device. That way i figured i could put it into one of their USB sticks and hopefully obtain a connect through that as well.

Yikes, just be careful. I would worry about them blocking the account or billing you for the added bandwidth usage, perhaps discovering it by looking at total bandwidth usage.
