Anyway, if the device were good enough, I'd buy it, so long as it had either an SD card slot or a reasonable amount of space for sideloading (+3GB is what I'm considering as reasonable).
The beauty of Calibre and Alf is that it doesn't matter what device we use or what store books are bought from. It sets you free to judge the device on other merits.

I agree. I would miss the convenience of the occasional purchase of a book or newspaper downloaded to my Nook via wifi. But ultimately, almost all of my reading is borrowed. If BN put out an awesome e-reader, I would buy it just like I did with the NST. Of course there's the chance, BN could go under and there would be no guarantee of hardware care--but my NST has lasted nearly 4 years.
**All of the above is predicated on the assumption public libraries would still include Nooks as a compatible device for their lending services.
