Incidentally, if you thought the front looked bad...

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.
