Point is they were so much cheaper for a while there must be a reasonable amount of people with them around.

That fire sale when you could buy the basic Nook for £25 and the Glowlight for £49 is pretty much the only reason why there are a reasonable number of them circulating in the UK. Unfortunately for B&N, apart from the low price the other big attraction was the ability to fairly easily root it. Lots of people grabbed one for this reason, and then probably wouldn't have bought a single book from B&N.
