This is an interesting conversation. I have been hesitating on the nook for a few reasons, but on is the cc/account/drm stuff. I have already run into an issue with a stolen/replaced cc where my number was changed. I also no longer have cc today that I may have had years ago and really don't recall the numbers. This DRM scheme may come to bite users in the behind a few years from now.
I really think that DRM should be tied to a person, which is what the cc is attempting to do in an overly complicated way. Email/password might be a better option. Publishers need to wake up to the fact that there are people who will never pay for an ebook and those that always will go the legal route, same with music.
In any case, I pretty much trust Amazon to keep going and I've gone thru all the Kindle hardware iterations so far with no issues. Kindle 1, 2, DX, iPhones and PC. It will be interesting to look back on these conversations 4 or 5 years from now
