It's hard to know the percentage here. We have so many different sales taxes that can be charged. It could be anywhere from 9.68% to 9.8% It's crazy! the Nook would be $273.28 that doesn't include shipping but that the price I was quoted with TN tax.

I think off Lenovo's site, the tax should be the same all around, because I think it's based off where they're at, not where you're at. I could be wrong. I should dig up my deleted email with the old order quote to see the percentage, or do the darn math ;-) I didn't like paying the tax on my HTC, but I did get at good price and don't regret it. I'd probably have some regret with the $299 tag, but I lucked out.
As for A1 apps ... I just checked the site, and of course there isn't as much info there as there used to be. I remember awhile back, when I was visiting it constantly, there was a list of pre-loaded apps, one of which included a movie maker (why would you want that on a 7-inch?!), but I can't seem to find that page anymore. However, it was difficult to tell if it was for both the K1 and A1, or just the K1. At the time, their product pages seemed to combine those two with some info splitting.
Without knowing all the circumstances surrounding delays and conflicting information, I'd say Lenovo's marketing team needs to be replaced, because they're missing the boat here. I don't expect them to sell the tablet at a loss to beat Amazon (there's nowhere it make up that loss for them), but if they'd been aggressively pushing those items out, keeping customers and retailers up to date on progress, and not been all rollercoaster on the prices (and ship dates), they could really push "you can have Amazon and MORE." Bring the price down as much as they can bear and then push it as a "real" Android tablet.
