Well, that's nice, I guess, but the store
is part of the device, for most of the e-readers out there (including the Nook). What you're basically saying is the equivalent of, "I don't consider anti-lock brakes to be part of the car". If it's part of what's being sold to you, it's part of the device.

You have more options of places to buy with the Nook, but if you really had disdain for the Nook's store, why would you use it? Why not get one of the other e-readers that are
also compatible with the store you actually want to buy from? If you like the store already on the e-reader, it's no problem, and if you don't like the store that's on your e-reader, why not get one with a store you like?
I'm
not saying there's anything wrong with the Nook (of any version). I'm saying that you're paying a premium (in most cases) for whatever store is on the e-reader of your choice, so it would make sense that you'd use the store as a criteria for purchase (because you're essentially buying it anyway).
