as an owner of both, I strongly disagree with you on the nook color as an ereader. You are dead wrong on that. It has functionality's that can be brought to ereading that eink can not bring, at least not in this point in time.
You might not like reading on an lcd screen, which by the way you do know that you are not legally bound to have the brightness settings on 100% and the background on the whitest of whites correct? There are settings you can adjust.
but your opinon on reading on an LCD vs eink is your personal preferance, not fact.
Poor battery life, well I guess that is in how you define poor? Poor compared to eink, sure. Poor compared to other lcd devices, nope, not by a long shot, this actually has pretty solid battery life and the fact that it uses very little battery life when in sleep mode is in fact above most other lcd based products. I charge my nook color far less than my Droid X.
