I totally agree that the nook can hold its own with the unwashed masses in a side-by-side comparison with the moderately upgraded competition. I also agree that that very side-by-side comparison will suffer because no one in department stores knows enuff to keep them charged.
But I most heartily agree with Tubemonkey (and others who say the same) that unless the nook sees some mass marketing effort, it won't matter whether or not the nook comes out with a nook 2, even if it has color eInk touch screen for $49.95.
The only reason I even know the nook exists is because I bought an ereader (technically, received it as a Christmas present) and I frequent MR. The only reason I have visited a BN store in the last 3 years was to check out the nook I heard about on MR.
The only reason I noticed the Sony and nook kiosks in BB is because I read in MR that there were Sony and nooks being sold at BB.
BN really needs to market to more that the folks who come it to buy books.
All that said. I sure would like to see a nook 2 just to see what they would offer as an updated version.
