I think that's easier for developers because they can control what's being displayed on an online store, like B&N. It is more difficult to provide a true browser for Internet, giving the case modern websites have not been designed for eink readers.

Not sure I agree, but I have not seen the device. B&N presents their titles as web pages for the Nook Color and rest of the world. So unless they made a special store connection just for this new Nook, it has to be running a program that can display web pages. If it can display webpages, then it would not surprise me to see someone find a way to break it out of its B&N jail and get working on the rest of the web.
Now I would not buy it on that belief. If someone wants a Nook that can surf the web, get the Nook Color.
