It was locked not to give you a better experience but to avoid being used it as a tablet, which ultimately is what that device is, a tablet. With Android locked and most menus designed around Barnes and Noble store, people's initial and 1st choice would be buying from Barnes and Noble online bookstore, same like Kindle 3 users download and read from Amazon online bookstore. It is a marketing strategy.
Of course you can you can read not DRM protected epub books using Nook Color, you can basically do the same with Kindle 3 via Calibre.

Joe that is not what you are implying at all. Your word gymnastics are getting rather tiring. You were trying to tell people you are only locked into buying books through BN and thats not true.
The Barnes and noble has never once claimed this was to be a full fledge Android Tablet. Never once. It's an ereader tablet, made specifically for ereading and surf the web and a couple of apps. But it's main focus is to be a dedicated ereader.
If you want a full fledge Tablet you go out get a Galaxy S or an iPad.
The skin is designed around ereading features.
The only thing designed around it's store is it's Shopping App, and why wouldn't it.
But that doesn't lock you in to only buying from BN.
and you know this.
