ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Am I reading that correctly? Is the usable memory on the Nook GL 500MB max? Actually, LESS than 500 MB because they don't tell you how much you are losing to formatting ... Because none of my current e-books are "Nook store content" and I wouldn't be planning on adding much from that source.

Please tell me I'm misunderstanding something ... because that looks just ludicrous
What are you so angry about? You stated in another thread that you are not a fan of lighted ereaders and use a pen light. But here you are ranting about the glowlight. lol Its pretty old news about the glowlights memory. If was already pretty much talked to death in several threads. Most people wont care about the memory who buy the nook because like kindle buyers they will probably be brand loyal or they just wont care. Plus you can still put several hundred of non nook books on the device. I am sure though they will correct this in the future. Just get a nook simple touch.
