[eGeezer]

I am willing to wait til however long after Nov 30 it takes to see nook reviews from those that get them, but no matter how glowing the reports, I'm not gonna be ordering one for delivery "some day". The nook announcement did its job. It stopped me from having my wife buy something else -- til Nov 30.

But I will have an eReader under the Christmas tree -- not a piece of paper saying it is on order. I'm not lugging an armload of books thru airports on my way to Hawaii ever again.

If b&n is playing games, they will lose where I am concerned. If they are not playing games, they will still lose. If they didn't believe in their new product enuff to make sure they had product on hand, then tuff tooties.

Of course, it doesn't matter if it turns out their toy is only that.
