What's sad is that the hardware was generally good, and they pretty much forced Amazon's hand with the Nook Color, which ended up leading to the Kindle Fire.
Unfortunately, they never got the eBook part right.
What really makes that hurt is that it would have been so easy for them to get it right. All they would have had to do was stick with Fictionwise, leave it basically the way it was and keep selling eBooks. Then they could have tied the Nook to Fictionwise and it could have worked.
