Here is part of the description: "This one-of-a-kind, plug-and-play 10.1-inch display offers two modes--an easy-to-read, real color, multi-media mode or a crisp, low power e-reader mode. The sunlight-ready, e-reader mode makes it easy to use outdoors."

I may be reaching here. However, wouldn't it be cool if the Nook 2 was a 10.1 inch touchscreen tablet running Android with a screen that could switch from color mode to e-reader mode?

Maybe it's just wishful thinking. However, since the technology is out there, it would not be hard to design.
You just described the (hopefully) soon to be released Notion Ink Adam tablet.
