The reason I am turned off so much by the kindle was how Amazon handled upgrading their device.

I understand perfectly that a larger device is good for reading various PDF files or image-heavy pages. That, in my opinion, is a weak justification for the lack of convenience like an SD card slot, (To steer myself from sounding biased, the nook uses that pointless MicroSD card format. That is a peeve of the device)

I was also put off by the fact Amazon can take books away Via the whispernet function- Yeah, let a website business sneak in like a nosey cousin and take things you interest in.

I would have gone with the Daily Edition if the nook didn't get announced first, but I was already wanting a device from B&N.
