Gotten my Nook! Along with a wallet-style case.
I will post a review of the device, but here are some snippets from my experience of the software and operations:

-Nook starts up with a wierd scanline blink effect, but that appears to be normal.

-Wireless is excellent! I just had to register a connection to it Via profile.

-I was able to update it, but no aformentioned Tipping Point loaded?

-Screen is the most responsive I've seen on an e-reader.

Also provide a review and details of the case. Love to learn all there is about the accessories out there before my nook arrives in February.

Congrats! I had a Nook certificate under the tree this morning, and it is supposed to ship ~ Jan. 15. I'd love to hear what you think of the case, since I figure that will be one of the things I have to purchase in the next few weeks.

The wireless might be too fast because last night, I kept adding books to my wishlist directly from the nook, and of course buying them, without a hitch.

I didn't get Tipping Point, either. Also, when I browsed the B&N site from the nook, I found some books listed as free, but they were grayed out. So when I tried to get them, they were unavailable. Including one from my wishlist, darn it. I don't know if that's temporary or a glitch or what. It's not like they can run out of copies.
