I don't understand why any of it has to be us-vs.-them. Frankly, I hope every device on the market succeeds spectacularly. With luck, e-book reading devices will become widely-supported commodities to the point where the choice of hardware makes little difference. Heck, it's almost there already.

I agree wholeheartedly. I can't speak for what's happened in the past around here (I'm new, obviously) but the necessity for folks to come into the nook forum simply to troll is, frankly, befuddling to me. Is that how this site operates? Should I be spending my time -- as a nook pre-orderer -- in the Kindle forum making snide remarks?
Anyway, to the topic at hand, I got the same e-mail as everyone else with no new news on my ship date changing. I was a day 1 pre-order.
From my perspective free overnight shipping and $10 is good enough for me. It's a freaking electronic gadget to read books, not something my life depends on. I'm pleased that B&N has tried to step up and take care of this issue in a responsible manner. As a consumer that's all I expect.
