It isn't very big right now, but there's more than enough content on it to keep me happy.

I don't need the latest high end tablet running a quantum-core Rubidium processor at 3.7 Gazillon Hertz with a super-charged plasma-ion display at a resolution of 7680x4800.

The Nook Color is in the right ballpark to satisfy most users. All Amazon needs to do to a tablet to have a bestseller on their hands is up the specs a bit, lower the price a tad and lock it into their ecosystem.

Remember, most people aren't tech oriented and they want an inexpensive tablet that will allow them to surf the web, do their email and Facebook, watch videos, play games, and listen to music. They don't care about jailbreaking the device, syncing calendars, displaying PDF's, accessing corporate email accounts, business presentations, 24/7 internet access, etc.
