Pretty slick-looking device, but as brecklundin said, it seems to have a fairly unpolished UI. The "Now Reading" button takes you back to the point where you were reading in the last book you opened, for example, but it's not clear to me that it keeps your place in all the books you're reading. And the demo just had the woman hitting the "Lend" button to lend a book. Left out was how you actually pick someone to lend to. Do you enter in an e-mail address? If you have to enter text to do it, how is that accomplished? The touchscreen display seems to be simply for viewing your collection, rather than as a place for a virtual keyboard.
That brings me to another thing: It might look slick to have book covers in your navigation, but how well is that going to work on a large collection?
I'd be interested to see a head-to-head matchup between the Nook, the Kindle, and the Sony Reader.
