The Nook Color is not a colored e-Ink reader, but it's not a tablet PC either. Like the current Nook, it'll likely be way more locked down than a typical Android tablet. As far as the LCD, it's not a make-or-break with me as I read off an LCD screen at work all day, but I do absolutely LOVE my e-Ink display and its battery life. To me, it looks like the big non-e-reader win is that you can get a viable 3G web browser with no monthly fee.
