They are issuing the refund to my card. Originally I was told it might be a gift card but today they told me it will go back on my Visa. So I just have to wait now. I am relieved that they are doing it this way it gives me more options in case another tablet comes available.

Ha, did you say, "I'm thinking about replacing it with the Fire"?
From what I've heard, you need to root the Nook to sideload apps (I don't know if Dropbox is in the Nook app store or not). You can sideload
files, but not apps. Correct me if I'm wrong, friends! You can buy SD cards with Nook custom ROMs on them and dual boot, so you're basically running all off the card and not messing with the Nook's internal memory (or warranty). I think apps are slightly less stable off the card, but for many it's worth it compared to bricking it.
From the brief hands on stuff bloggers got at the press conference, it looks like the NCTab is using the same UI as the NC, which is why I'm assuming you won't be able to sideload your own apps without some rootin' magic.
The Flyer has the Kobo reader on it, and I played a little bit. Aside from the page turn graphic, I prefer Aldiko (free), so I've kicked Kobo off my home panel and shortcuts. I should explore it, because if I can get the Kobo WiFi and Flyer to sync up, that would be a huge win! But I think only Kobo store books do that. I hope that changes with Kobo's "we're open not like Amazon or B&N" campaign.
