I agree with the OP as it was a big reason I have not ordered a nook. I have been put off by the fact that everyone that has writtan about it seem to only have limited knowledge of any ereader and only the company line about the nook. I have also been annoyed by the very slanted comparisons to kindle and misinformation out there claiming advantages that really aren't such as titles available and how kindle can only get books from Amazon. I have a K2 and was interested in the nook for my daughter in law since the LCD is something she would be attracted too, but when a company continually only puts out slams on the similar product and has never sent out even one prototype device for the tech reviewers to review then I worry that maybe there are issues they are hiding. I understand that first generation devices have issues and many growing pains but BN is starting to act like they are not being truthful and now with the delay on shipping it makes you wonder. I will be watching actual reviews from actual customers if and when they actually receive their nook. Hopefully they are everything they are slated to be because they could bring positive results for ebooks and ereaders on every device. Competition is great for any business, but right now it seems like BN and their customer service is failing to improve their reputation.
