The Nook Tablet is definitely tempting, but I want to know how walled up B&N will make it, how much of that storage (as someone pointed out) will be for B&N stuff only. I have to say, though, I'm very impressed with B&N's retaliation to the Fire. I think the $50 more is definitely worth it. It beats anything at that price mark - IF it can be dual booted, rooted, or B&N is more open about letting you sideload what apps you want.

I've played with an NC for a day, and I don't know, the interface didn't click with me. Of course, a custom ROM solves that. I'd rather have a device I don't have to mess with rooting, but at that price point and hardware, it might be worth it. Hmm ...
