After speaking to a Barnes and Noble employee about the nook...

I am horribly unimpressed by their in-store employees manning the nook stands.

He seemed to not only know almost nothing, but was stretching what he did know. He guarenteed me that such features like "PDF annotation" and "Wikipedia blog support that you do not need to pay for, like the amazon device" would arrive sometime early next year.

If there is any validity in what he said, I wonder why BnN hasn't announced this little road map themselves. While I admit, it would be wonderful if these features would be guaranteed in the future, the likelihood that this guy was doing anything but spitballing is very, very low.

Anywayz... I get a feeling that they don't quite take their own product seriously.. or even better, didn't prepare for it. Either way it smells of bad mojo.

Just thought it would be productive to share the results of this back and forth,
