The text and background issue, if it exists, might be due to B&N doing a complete refresh every 5th page rather than with every page turn. That 5th page refresh just might bite them in the backside. I think it was little more than a marketing ploy to say the STR turns pages faster than brand XYZ, much like their battery life is just a bunch of meaningless hype.
The lack of landscape mode for ePubs, the same thing that plagues the NC, is a no go for me. But I wasn't in the market for an eInk anyway.
