Yeah, I've had that in my cart since 7:00 a.m. and have been staring at it with ambivalence. I've seen the IPS screen in real life and it's nice; I also like the form better than that of the Nook Color. But the KF isn't nearly as hackable as the NC, is it? I'd rather not be yoked to Amazon's content distribution.

If it were easy to root and the user still had access to the Amazon Store, I'd have bought one instantly. This deal's amazing for a relatively new product. Amazon was already selling the KF at a loss at the regular price.
