understand why people put thousands of books on there. Unless it is the collected works of Dr. Suess, you probably won't live long enough to read even half of them. I have about 50 books on mine and I don't think I can finish them all in a year. Can anyone tell me what the logic is?

lol. I read more than 50 books in a year, but it's true that I have many more books than I could possibly read on my nook. I like knowing I have lots of choices at my fingertips for when I finish reading whatever I'm reading (and sideloaded books can't be downloaded from the cloud). Also, many of my "books" are really short stories or papers I'm reading for work. Also, I have a backlog of books that I purchased from Fictionwise when they were on sale, and when they are already loaded on my nook they remind me of all the books I already have--making it less likely that I'll get tempted to buy lots of new books.
Wishlist items (though I'm really happy with nook overall):
* Ability to delete or archive from my library
* Better sort options in my library (I'd love to sort by size of book & by last opened date)
* Ability to search in my library. (It would be fabulous to be able to search for a keyword within a book)
* Alerts. I'd like to be able to tag a p-book version in BN store and get an alert when the e-version is released, or tag a favorite author and get an alert when the author's next book is released as an e-book. (I guess this is more of a store wish than a nook wish.)
That screensaver = last book read thing sounds neat, too.
