That shape reminds me of the EB1150. It was an ergonomic marvel, the most comfortable ebook to read on for long periods before or since. It used a combination of buttons and touch screen to give the user first rate control. The more I think of it, this new nook seems to have used some of the same ideas but updated them.
The EB1150 was made in about 1999-2008 or so. It was too heavy and had a back-lighted green screen smaller than our six inchers, plus a limited number of books compared with what B&N has.
This new nook is looking pretty good. Think I want to go over to a B&N store and get the feel of one in my hand.
