I'm sure, but that doesn't guarantee they will sell a lot.

The more direct competition is the Galaxy Tab, which apparently sold 1 million units in the US in the last 2 months.

Also, due to major screwing the pooch with Nook availability last year -- and the need to have multiple units sitting in thousands of stores, rather than sitting in warehouses -- B&N needs to far outpace the expected demand. This is Riggio trying to assure people there won't be shortages this year.

As such, if you're going to measure its success, you have to wait and see how many actually sell as opposed to how many B&N ordered.
