Thanks for your time today. Wanted to provide a few things that may be helpful as you review the All-New NOOK.
· Please call it the All-New Nook. (Please note it’s not Nook Touch, etc.). We refer to the original NOOK products as 1st Edition, fyi."
So I guess the problem is not with Mr. Pogue but with B&n's PR requesting that a product stamped as one thing (nook) be referred to as something else.

If you have a look around B&N's site, you'll find that "the simple touch reader" is a descriptive tagline. I found at least one accessory listed as fitting the "Nook 2nd Edition," but otherwise it's "All-New Nook" through and through.
Personally, I've resolved to simply call it
nook, specifying that it's the new one if and when appropriate.
