It would be better to wait, and play with it in the store to make sure its the right device for you.
I agree. I'm not personally planning on buying one any time soon, if at all. I already have a Kindle that I'm quite happy with, otherwise I might consider it. The nook has some really interesting features and I like the design. Hearing more about the selection, prices, and lending restrictions, has made it a little less shiny to me but it's just coming out. I expect some growing pains and changes. Amazon's certainly had plenty, too. However, if I were readerless and wanted a nook, I absolutely would not pre-order with that restocking fee. I'd go play with it in the store. I plan on doing that anyway just for fun.
