My wife and I both have a Nook Color, and I just bought her a Nook ST. As far as the memory setup being user friendly - I think that depends on the user. My wife is a bright person who just doesn't care about this. It holds books, yes? If it becomes full I can archive them out and add more, right? Then it doesn't matter to her.

I know there is a view that doesn't trust anything but their very own local backup, and for that group the "invisible" memory area is an issue. I'm sure there are others that are bothered by this issue because they can't get at some of the titles to liberate them from the shackles of Nookdom - a point I can appreciate. I'm also willing to believe that the large majority of people that are buying these just don't care - it's an easy to use fairly inexpensive reader that is sold in the place that they were buying books at anyway.
