It looks to me as though they have decided that they overdid it with the first Nook and they want to go cheap, in the name of "simple".

There was never landscape mode for reading. Engadget falsely reported that in the newest update for nookcolor. The new nook does have the ability to change the font. I have no idea where you heard elsewhere, but those ideas are wrong.
B&N wanted a reader that was simple: no frills, no extras. If people want the extras, there are other nook devices with those. The 2nd edition is for those who want simplicity.
Also, B&N is not in any dire financial situation, so please stop saying that.
Edit: Oh, also, the 3g's been discontinued for about 2 months now.
