Heck, the main news here is, that B&N actually revealed misterious Microsoft's patents "infringed" by Android, why instead choose such a strange title?

TLDR version of the patents:

So to summarize, three reasons you should like B&N:

Unlike amazon, B&N chooses ePub, an open format, for the Nook.
Second, they make the Nook easily rootable.
Third, they tell Microsoft to go f**k themselves.
