I'm hoping also that B&N will change their pricing structure, although I have to admit, the ebooks I've bought from there, I bought because they were cheaper than anywhere else I could get them (I don't have a Kindle, and therefore no access to Amazon's pricing).
I'm on the fence about the Nook, myself. I have an EZ Reader that I love, and it handles every format I throw at it (except .lit files, which it locks up on - never did find out why). I don't know if I want to give up folder support and multi format capability for a new "ooohh shiny" device.
As it is, I already know (barring horrible reviews) that I'm getting an Archos 9 tablet after the first of the year. I don't know if I can justify a new e-ink device AND the Archos, since the Archos runs Windows and therefore will handle everything I throw at it with no configuration hassles. And before anyone starts up the old LCD vs. e-ink controversy, I can read on anything with no eyestrain or headaches, I just want the portability.

*edited to add - PC for Kindle may change that...
