I recognize that this is just my opinion and may not be shared by the majority and can live with that. If a majority of Nook Color feel as I do and start moving away and contributing to the forum then it will be a loss for the board.
I have to disagree. The divide comes from the hybrid nature of the Nook Color; as a B&N product, it will generate discussion about or involving e-reading which decidedly does belong here, but as a darling device of Android hackers, it also generates a lot of discussion with no relevance whatsoever to e-reading. If those with a deeper interest in the Android side of things rely more heavily on XDA for that discussion, it's probably a service both to those individuals and this board.

Mobileread is a much better forum for discussion of the NC as a B&N product and a reading device. That aspect of the NC is relegated almost solely to the occasional "What's the best reader app" thread on XDA. These discussions are actually facilitated by taking place in a general "B&N Devices" board, with cross-chatter between topics, more variety in the user-base, and more focus on reading.

If you have technical questions about the NC, ask them at XDA. If you just want to kibbutz with other book/gadget-lovers, branch out beyond the device forums here at MR.
