The Nook really should have web browsing via WiFi. It would cost B&N some development effort, but would make the device more comparable to the Kindle. The most likely reason they left it out is time pressure, but a second reason might be that B&N was afraid Nook owners would lobby for browsing via 3G. I think owners would understand that 3G browsing costs money to someone.

It might be just me, but whether the nook has web browsing does not matter to me. If it did, I really do not see myself using it to surf the net. You have your cell phones, Netbooks and other devices for that. What I like is having my content automatically downloaded to my device (my magazine subscriptions). Maybe I am in the minority on this issue..
I have had the nook a week and it is a great device. I had minor problems with a couple of previously purchased books, but was able to work around that. Aside from that, I have not had a problem with it..
