Just got this email from B&N this morning (as I'm sure all other pre-orderers have):
Quote:
Dear nook Customer:
Congratulations on being among the first to order nook!
Demand for nook has exceeded all expectations and we're really excited about the enthusiastic response. The good news is that you should expect your device to ship on or around November 30th, as previously communicated. Starting today, October 30th (12:01am ET), anyone pre-ordering a nook should expect their device to ship on or around December 7th, still well in time for the holidays.
We expect the demand to continue to be heavy through the holiday season, and we are operating strictly on a first-come, first-serve basis.
We're committed to updating our customers on expected nook availability and will do so through our stores, online at nook.com, and by email.
Thank you for being one of the first to order!
William J. Lynch
President of BN.com

It's been available for a week now, and they've only sold the first week's allotment? Not sure what that means, but they either have a million of them ready to go (learned from Amazon's mistake) or there really just isn't much interest.
As I keep finding out more and more about this device, the less and less I think it is for me (I've gotten over the glare on the Sony Touch and am leaning toward that). But, I have until Christmas, so I'm going to wait and see.
