Device: Kobo Clara HD & Nook Glowlight 3
Has anyone looked in a B&N store for the device? I remember the Glowlight 3 was on display there at least a week before it went on sale. I don't remember if it was up on the website at that point. I will pass a store tomorrow (Sunday) and check.

I was a loyal Nook customer until I tried the Kobo (Clara). But I think I want to try a bigger screen and wouldn't mind having the buttons back. (The waterproofing has never seemed a big attraction.)

I assume they won't make the same mistake with partitioning. But that is very easy to check when you go to the system settings and check storage.

My other pet peeve with the Nook SW is that they keep the browser locked down. Both Kindle and Kobo keep the browser accessible from the menu.
Usually browsing on e-ink is painful, but there's a great site, reabble.com, that optimizes the innoreader newsreader for e-ink, and it works great.

I used to have to ADB and install a launcher on the Nook, but every few weeks the device would lock up and I'd have to hard reset and start over.

But maybe without the partition nonsense, this would be easier.
