If it's LCD, it better have some great specs, solid build, and nice features.

even if it is traditional LCD, I think we can at least be pleased that this is not replacing the orginal Nook, which is getting a juicy software update v1.5 in November. For that I am very excited.
This will be just an addition/expansion of it's product line. It will fill a void. We see alot of people on this forum asking what to get. LCD tech does provide more advanced capabilities than what eink has to offer in this point in time. It'll have a appeal for comic book readers, Children's book, magazines and newpapers, Magna and other Graphic Novels, true PDF capabilites.
While I won't have much interest in it for long term reading of my books (unless of course it's Mirasol, then I would be very very excited) I still EXTREMELY happy we continue to get updates on the original Nook. And i welcome the addition to the Nook family.
There seem to pushing forward with the ebook and their nook product full steam ahead.
Great update coming soon v1.5 for the original Nook and Nook wi fi
Expanded it's physical store to Walmart, the worlds largest retail department store.
Introducion of NookKids which I think is fantastic
and of course the Color Nook.
Good for BN.
