Well,
The nook arrived, and I must say I'm well pleased with it!
A pity, it was a used item, but regardless, I find it a splendid device!
The text is pleasantly clear (at the resolution that it has), the glo light works very well, though lowest light mode is a bit too bright for night reading for me; but not a problem for my wife who loves the screen a bit brighter.
The refresh rate is about the fastest I've seen before,
The body has a nice rubber feel to it, which I find feels the nicest of all ereaders, so we disagree here!
You probably don't know what feels bad, until you had to read from a metal e-reader, like the Sony PRS-505, with its cold metallic plastic, or the Jetbook color, weighing in about 4x the weight of current eReaders.

The weight of the Nook is just perfect! Super light weight!
Barnes and Noble has about 13k free ebooks in their store, where probably 1% or less is worth reading, but still!

A bad device?
I don't think so!
I enjoy reading out of it as much as my H2O, despite the smaller screen.
