Pretty sure they said something similar about the earlier various Nook tablets.

Not seeing anything so far that makes me want to buy one...

- Daily personalized recommendations (please no)

- Free customer service in-store for Nook users (has he actually sampled their in-store service?)

- More than $200 of free NOOK reading and entertainment content including three free bestselling eBooks including Freakonomics, The Wanderer, and I Am Number Four (might be nice if I was interested in those titles, too bad it's not a credit to buy three books of my choice)

- and an episode each of three hit TV shows: HBO’s Veep, NBC Universal’s Hannibal, and BBC America’s Orphan Black (first episodes are often free from any video service [Vudu, iTunes, Amazon, etc.)

- A $5 credit will also help customers get started as they explore the NOOK Store (nice, I suppose)

- Add to that B&N's software (as opposed to stock Android or TouchWiz). No thanks.
