Hey thanks again. That's really good to know. I am a bit picky about my epubs showing their covers, so if the Nook HD couldn't handle it, that would probably be a deal breaker for me.
As for this maybe being off-topic, I think it's valuable for people looking for a really good color e-reader to know their options relative to other products. The specs of the Nook HD are so attractive I don't understand why it's not getting more hype these days. As long as one can handle the closed ecosystem (and it's not a problem for me as long as it handles ALL epubs with ease), then it's one of the best tablet options in this size out there right now. Especially if the display lives up to its specs in real usage. The only thing left to know is what the battery life will be like. And kudos to B&N for putting an SD card slot in there. Maybe the next Google Nexus will have one too.
