B&N will have to be careful to ensure that these additional devices serve the purpose of building a strong Nook e-book buying community and aren't just an attempt to move low margin one time sale hardware devices. (Amazon is relentless in getting devices out there in as many hands as possible of those who will use it for reading Amazon e-books which is the only sustainable business model -- recurring, decent margin revenue.)
However, the B&N teaser released so far certainly sounds intriguing.
