Return the Nook or whatever and let people think what they want, Also the Page swiping is wonderfully designed, I never miss a page turn and my fingers never hurt from hitting a button 300 times a night, thats my favorite feature actually.

Does seem like you are more of K3 person though, so enjoy that, doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.
Yes, fine. But it seems to me that it's far more acceptable to gush praise all over a product than to criticise and in my world, people have the equal right to do either. To be honest, negative criticisms are far more useful too. All this gushing praise I read about the Nook was the reason I bought it in the first place.

I know full well that people can have totally different preferences, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the design that they like is any good or better than another, it just means they like it!

If you go and read my original post you'll see this

What I will say is this; if you are in the process of choosing an eReader I would suggest that you try to see one and hold it in your hand before you buy and, if like me you can't, then consider your available options very carefully before you buy. Personally, I will try damn hard to get used to the Nook before I go back to my iPhone reading but I'm guessing that once the Kindle has arrived, the Nook will be put in a cupboard somewhere, never to be seen again.
Which is a far cry from me calling all Nook users idiots or the like.
