I don't think there's anything particularly crazy about it.

I have two working Nook STRs, and 4 parts models, and I bought them because they seemed quite reliable, the form factor seemed OK, and because I was interested in rooting them and maybe being able to run a few android apps.

I bought a Nook with Glowlight before my Glo, but did not care for their version of front lighting and returned it the next day and drove another 40 miles to buy my Kobo Glo. I have to admit I find the Glo a bit lighter and sleeker, and long term I'd rather hold the lighter reader. Also, I prefer a bolder font since the front lighting tends to knock the contrast down a bit. If the Nooks had better lighting and adjustable weight fonts it'd be a much harder choice, but I think Kobo still wins the physical race for now -at least for me.
