Plastic Logic just announced that Barnes and Noble will be selling the QUE through their stores and website in 2010, which makes sense since readers probably sell better with first hand experience. Irex, any chance you can get BN on distributing your device or you going to remain exclusive to BestBuy?

Personally, I would prefer to buy from BN over BestBuy (less sales pressure, more locations near me, can use my amex points).

I would not be surprised if the QUE share the same DRM features as the Nook (lending, full ebook access from BN Wifi). I guess the dr800sg can't offer the wifi part... Perhaps irex is delaying to get wifi in (doubt it) or at least pen annotations in so they can have at one bullet point in their favor against the competition.
