It would be nice, especially if it works well. I wouldn't jump on one, but I'd certainly, eventually upgrade to one. I just hope that isn't the only thing that B&N would be adding for a "new Nook ST". I'd hope either processor improvements, storage space or to me most importantly, improved eink screen. I haven't heard much out of eInk, but it'd be nice to step up to a 768x1024 resolution 6 inch display. That would pretty much eliminate the last of any "pixelation" you see unless you want to hold it RIGHT up to your face. eInk doesn't have pixelation like a typical display, but you can still see if you hold it up close (barely closer then normal comfortable reading distance for me).
Better or as good as increased resolution would be higher contrast and more contrast steps, say a full 16 or maybe 32 or more (heck 256 shades would be A-mazing, but I'll simply settle for twice as many grey levels and 20-30% better contrast).
