4GB Memory: 2.5GB for content, of which 2GB reserved for B&N content, meaning 500MB for sideloaded stuff. Coupled with no microSD and that just seems like a complete fail to me.
No Carta screen (granted they might not have been able to include this), same OS & Processor as the old model glow and they removed the page turn buttons that attracted some folks who would have otherwise bought something else.
I was really hoping B&N would surprise with something exciting. For me at least they didn't.
