To use the technical term, it’s slower than an anesthetized slug in winter.

the touch screen is balky and nonresponsive, even for the Nook product manager who demonstrated it for me.

In four days, my Nook locked up twice and displayed an “Android operating system has crashed” message twice.

During my tests, I found the Nook slower, more cumbersome to use and less polished than the Kindle. I ran into various crashes and bugs. And, while the Kindle's navigation system isn't exactly world class, it ran circles around the Nook's, despite the great possibilities offered by the latter's use of the touch screen.
The Nook may be wonderful one day, but, as of today, it's no match for the Kindle, despite advantages such as lending, because it's more annoying to use.
