I've heard a lot of good things about their tablet. But I personally don't want to read on a tablet, no matter how good it might be.

And I am by no means alone.
I have held the NST and Glowlight, and didn't like it one bit.
I still maintain that you cannot just release "one last device", and expect people to be satisfied with that. Maybe a handful of people.

Either way -- what would be so special about
this "one last device" over the current "one last device"?
And what makes you think B&N would reverse their trend of making... unwise... moves?
