One other thing. Just yesterday, I went in a BAM store and happened to look at their Nook display since I am now in the market and I wanted a new look at the current Nooks.

Unfortunately the "new" Nook gray scale ($139) was discharged and when I attempted to hook it up where I thought it would have power, the alarm went off, so the clerk came over, apologized for the lack of a charge, then went to the back of the store to put it on a charger and to cut off the alarm. I never got to put the Nook gray scale through its paces.

I do know now that the new Nook gray scale is a neat smaller tablet than the Kindle 3 and has a virtual keyboard (when it is charged). Those two attributes make me want to try it. It appeared from the information there that it and the current Nook Color does not have a browser (internet) like the Kindle but that they might be getting one.

Some feedback on the browser situation would be welcome.
The Nook Color has a browser (and e-mail, etc). The new Nook Touch does not have a browser per se--it has a way to get to a browser, if I'm understanding the comments by other users, but I think it requires some finagling. That is, if "finagling" is a word.
