Very true, I should have been more specific. But still what they are implying (they the already have many ebook customers) is certainly not true, and as they know customers in one format doesn't necessarily equate to the other (although I am sure they are going to try). All things considered I hope that the Nook does turn around. I like the platform, or at least I did with the first edition and the Nook Tablet. Never liked simple touch that much or the newer tablets. But still they are decent hardware (at least in my experience) and very customizable (after a bit of hacking). I understand why they tried to lock down the hardware, but I think they would have done better to make it more open. Also website was great when the Nook first came out, then they took a wrong turn and haven't made a right one since lol.
