OKay.. played some with the nook today. I gotta be honest... while I like the page swipes, and the book covers two things bug me horrible. First is navigation outside of a book is painful and slow. The touchscreen lag and the eink page refreshes seem like they all the sudden go from quick and responsive to molasses. The other is the touch keypad seems like it is the worst. Doing a search at barnes and noble became an exercise in pain.
Though I liked surfing books by cover I found that eventually it kept hanging on trying to load the covers and the e-ink page didn't update that well.
Also.. and I know I don't buy it for this, but chess seemed kinda rough being forced to play it on this tiny lcd.

Oddly enough.. I am considering the kindle now soley for weight. A kindle and a cheap leather cover weigh the same as the nook with no cover.
