PDF support is very poor, and there's no landscape display mode. These are, of course, all issues that can be sorted out with a firmware upgrade, but as things stand at the moment I can't see many Kindle owners being tempted away.
I hate to use the word overated about the "Ghosting' since everyone's sensitivity is different but I have to tellyou, I played with it for about 30 mins, and I saw no signifcant ghosting, I read about 5 pages of a book and saw none at all while reading.

the only time I did see some when I was testing it's reboot time and the outline of the book cover was seen but the nook did a quick refresh and it was gone, So IMHO, significant ghost is a bit overstated.
