Probably almost every Nook owner will check it out and there should be plenty of posts on what we find. I expect it will make the refresh faster, although it already is fast enough to stay out of the way. What I wonder is whether they will support more of ePub's capabilities or actually move on to ePub3.

You know, when B&N introduced the new Nook STR in May there were a lot of comments. Don't forget the Nook Touch is a new device since June and it's hard to compare it with something that hasn't emerged from the vapor yet.

I love the balance of my Nook. I can read it for hours without getting tired holding it and I have to wonder if the Kindle touch is as nice. I distrust that narrow side bezel, I suspect it will make it too easy to turn a page while just holding the book and I love the ability to use my own screen saver. Odd as that may seem, it is slightly comforting to pick my reader up and see a friendly image waiting for me.

I've decided to cancel my preorder for a Kindle Touch until I can get my hands on an actual Kindle and check it out for myself.
