I am pondering the fact that they are promoting this as a stripped down eReader for those who don't want frills, but they are pricing it $10 under the regular nook and $25 more expensive than the Kindle, which is hardly stripped down. As has been the case since inception, B&N seems to be clueless as to what their customers want, hence their very expensive marketing campaign that barely gets them 25% of the market.
It is unfortunate, as I like my nook since I rooted it. I just see know point in this new version. It reminds me of a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
