Because browsers go with the ability to download. I don't really understand how a person that buys a reader that has a browser can think: oh, it isn't capable of downloading, that's normal. Since we're moving towards a world that is based on cloud storage, haw can you not expect to have access to it. And how is downloading directly from the store NOT the same as browser downloading? Isn't it just copying a file from a web address?

I'm guess I'm just a little surprised that you assume that everyone expects a browser to have a download ability. Well, different strokes, I guess. I was disappointed when my Nook Classic turned out not to be able to download from my Dropbox account, but not overly surprised. And I'm pretty sure my old RIM phone's browser had serious limits on downloading. Maybe that's been improved since I moved to Android.
Perhaps B&N agrees with you that Browser = Download, and that is why they don't claim a browser for the N2 device, even though it does in fact have a very rudimentary one (that can't download).
