One thing that I haven't seen mentioned, is that the nook is also based on Google's Android OS, so I'm sure we'll see hacking very quickly.

I think the combination of the full-color mini touch-screen[multi-touch?] and the eInk display will make hacking a very useful thing. I would love to see the device used for video (and the screen ratio looks to be the wide-screen cinema resolution of 2.39:1?).

I think a combo movie/ebook format that would basically allow you to "follow-along" (or show the "diffs") would be a pretty wild feature for future "editions". Or even something like a copy of the original scripts and/or story-boards would be pretty kewl.
