Nah, I don't want a Kindle or to be tied to Amazon, though I do agree the screen is nicer. The A1 kind of has a bad taste in my mouth now.

Maybe I should've kept my old order and it would be shipping out tomorrow, but judging by the forums and how Lenovo's behaved all year, I just don't trust them. Maybe the reviews will be decent, and then I'll buy. Certainly it's more affordable than slightly better spec'd tablets and I won't be doing any video games.
Oh, so I was in Best Buy yesterday oggling the goods, and this poor man was getting told misinformation by one of the employees. Did you know you can easily share between Nooks and Kindles?

That BB still had the NC for $249 and the employee clearly hadn't been informed about the new one, so when she walked away, I kind of butted in and asked the man the differences between Fire, Nooks, other tablets and asked what he wanted the device for. Hope I didn't overwhelm him

but I couldn't let someone be given incorrect information right in front of me.
The BBs here also do not have Vox demos up yet and don't seem to know anything about them, though you can order from the website.
