FWIW, a friend of mine dropped by the B&N in midtown manhattan today. He said there was a nook display up, with a cardboard mockup unit, and it was "staffed" by people. BUT he said that the staff looked amazingly bored, they didnt know anything about the nook (like its details or etc), werent able to "sell" it to him when he asked questions about it, and the nook sales table and etc in general left him pretty unimpressed.
To which I say, B&N should some more energy into getting the in-store demo display right!
