I cannot figure out for the life of me who B&N is targeting with this. They did go out of their way to not mention it's actually an LCD screen, only calling it backlit and VividView.. People are going to think it's an e-ink screen... But it's not. Sorry, it's an iPad wannabe. I'll wait for new technology and stick with what I've got in the meantime.
Well, I think they're targeting people who DON'T have a Kindle, a Nook, and an iPad, but are perhaps looking for their first e-reader/multimedia gadget.
