I also checked one out at the store yesterday. I really liked it. The reading app behaves more like a phone's app than the e-Ink firmware. That's a good thing, for me, as I read for 7 years on my PDAs and phones.

One of the two reps had already spent some time with it and could answer most of my questions.

I was impressed with what I was able to test (making bookshelves, reading ePubs, the NOOKkids books, magazines). I forgot to test newspapers and they didn't have a PDF on it to test. The things I plan to test when I get mine:

PDFs - both magazines and e-books
children's picture books that are NOT NOOKkids (NYPL is adding a lot of children's picture books)
how it handles side-loaded content, especially Overdrive books
what kinds of folder structure it allows
night mode
