rem736: However, the weight is in relation to the Kindle PW2, which never had an SD slot. The Kobo Aura has an SD slot as well, and is in a similar weight range. It may be the magnets, as you say.
TBH I don't think that most of the things people are talking about here, with the exception of the color of the bezel, will be a big deal with the mainstream market, which is what really matters for the success of the device. As Tony888 said, if people really cared about that much about the lack of buttons and SD card slot, Kindle PW wouldn't be the top e-reader (in the US and UK, but since we're talking about Nook, only the US and UK markets are in question here)
I think what's going to make more of a difference are programs like Matchbook and software features. The main update Nook seems to be touting now are recommendations.
