Well, I've been all over the Nook forum for a week or two now, so maybe it's late for introductions, but I picked up a Nook Color on Friday when they hit Staples. The screen is gorgeous and responsive, and definitely caught my little cousins' attention with the sample kids' book. I may keep a partition of the stock OS for the magazines and kids' books, and just to follow its development, but overall B&N's firmware seems like a waste of both the hardware and the Android platform. Still, with such a mod-friendly hardware configuration, it's hard to complain that, like every device tied to a store or service provider, you're better off undoing all the branding and starting from scratch.
