I don't think that is true or fair. Many people like the new Nook. Also I believe it does now support ADE. Re: innovation or lack thereof, presumably you have seen the range available from Amazon and Kobo? They are not innovative and the Nook matches up well against them.
The funny thing is, for all its faults, B&N make good hardware. If they go, they will be missed in what has become an increasingly uniform and grey market.
