I didn't think there was any real hope of it NOT being LCD, so my disappointment is the weight. 15.8 oz is even heavier than the original Nooks. I found the original Nook heavy for one-handed use. But it is lighter than the iPad, which has been a challenge for reading for me. Maybe the Nook Color will seem light now :P

And I'm glad to see they got rid of the page turn buttons. And they have so many accessories planned.

I'm curious about why they dedicated so much space to the hook on the bottom. You can attach a wriststrap with a tiny little bar - it seems like overkill.
