Hmm - regarding people who like the BN reader & shop...

... all they have to do is pull the microSD card and turn on the Nook and they have access to the installed BN reader & shop.

In fact, nookdevs.com has a boot menu program that allows choice of boot device, and can even have a default (like Windows), so that the Nook can be used by family members in the stock configuration and only uses the microSD card when that is selected from the boot menu.

Anyway ... I will be making a Froyo image on my Class 6 microSD card and will report back on using that versus the built-in BN Eclair on EMMC (including the speed issues you mention) once my NC arrives. This will be my first Android device (other than the hidden OS on my wife's Nook Classic), so I don't have any pre-existing preferences for any particular configuration. So, the ability to try various different configurations using the microSD card will be especially helpful for me.
