I was seriously considering moving to a Nook device, and consolidating most of my purchasing to Barnes & Noble. I was even going to buy one for my younger sibling. This news has me waiting to see what happens.

The Barnes & Noble wishlist is a PITA to operate, and I have no wish to lock* purchases into that ecosystem when it's not rock-solid certain what's going to happen.

This uncertainty is not helpful for Barnes & Noble where consumers like me are concerned.

*Yes I can deDRM my files. I just don't want to have to check all the time if a book has been updated/typos fixed and re-deDRM.

EDIT: I very much like the Amazon ecosystem. But I can't stand the tower of eBabel with regard to their Kindle formats. If every book went to a strict definition of KF8, then I would consider a Kindle.
