But the original point was about the appeal of Nook Color. To me, there's nothing to make the iPad appealing enough to replace my netbook. Especially considering the price of the iPad vs. the price of a decent netbook.

But I AM interested in the Nook Color, largely because of the portability and the memory card slot, neither of which is a feature of the iPad (even though the iPad is light, it's large). I could own the Nook AND the netbook for not much more than the price of the iPad.

I do see the appeal of this Nook and think it will find a market.
