It paid itself already with several paper books I ordered and other items; the shipping was free!

Lol, my brother's on a first name basis with the UPS guy due to Amazon Prime. There's practically a delivery at our place everyday.

Has anyone mentioned that this is just an internal hardware upgrade. Just like the iPhone 4s which everyone made such a big stink about.

So what? Just because the case didn't change doesn't mean the upgrades didn't bring anything of value. I rather like the upgraded specs on the iPhone 4S. The shorter battery life and the fact that iOS5 breaks Stanza compatibility, not so much. The same comments were made regarding the iPhone 3G and 3GS, but imho, aside from retina display, going from 3G to 3GS is a much bigger upgrade compared to going from 3GS to 4. The iPhone 3G was unbearably slow.
The faster CPU on the Nook Tablet would certainly help with more processor intensive apps - assuming the device gets rooted of course. The slightly lighter weight and longer battery life are also appreciated.
I recently upgraded an Intel Atom 330-based Mini-ITX nettop to Intel Sandy Bridge Celeron G530 (replacing only the motherboard/CPU/RAM). From the outside, it still looks the same. However, when you start using it, you'll notice that the Sandy Bridge build is definitely snappier and more responsive.
