The Nook really should have web browsing via WiFi. It would cost B&N some development effort, but would make the device more comparable to the Kindle. The most likely reason they left it out is time pressure, but a second reason might be that B&N was afraid Nook owners would lobby for browsing via 3G. I think owners would understand that 3G browsing costs money to someone.

I suspect that your second reason, lobbying for browsing on 3G, is correct about why B&N excluded a browser. However, I think that your appraisal of the general reading public is very generous.
