It's a shame the way the Nook line and their e-store has been so badly mismanaged.
Their first Nook had that neat color screen at the bottom. The Nook Simple touch was beautifully designed. Then they added a light to it. Then the Nook Glowlight came out and it seemed so underwhelming and locked down. That was the device where it felt like they were just playing catch-up to the Kindle.
Also, I think the move to tablets wasn't a good idea. They just didn't have the ecosystem or the savvy to be able to handle it. And it took their eye off of the e-readers and e-book store.
At least that's my "from the outside looking in" perspective. (I used to work there for fun, but left right as the Nook rolled out.)
