Complete BS, me thinks. I feel sorry for you that "...my experience ...e-reader devices is that they'll freeze up every now and then..." It's not 1989, these are specific purpose devices, in a very competitive market. And I KNOW my way around just about any device; my mom, not so. The Nook is not ready for prime time. It works, or it is a paper weight, nothing in between. Patience has nothing to do with it. "Fortunately"? your tone smells like someone who won't admit they bought a dog.
Anyone who thinks this is acceptable, and thinks "...removing batteries, resetting to the older OS version, etc..." doesn't understand the market for a device like this.
Or, maybe your a shill for B&N. Right now, I am unimpressed.
Let's see how B&N responds before I deliver the verdict.

Your mistake was in buying an inappropriate gift for your Mom. Electronic devices like the Nook are meant for people who either have some technical knowledge themselves or who have a tech person in their family. I'm no tech geek but I can solve 95% of all tech problems with ereaders, cell phones, computers etc. by myself, searching online or calling the manufacturer. My wife, on the other hand, has no interest in this and no patience to deal with problems. If I weren't around she'd have no tech items in the house whatsoever.
BTW we are both in our 60's so age has nothing to do with it.
