I got to play with a nook last night at Barnes and Noble. Here are my observations
The eink was on par with other eink screens of that size
The refresh was painfully slow and it took almost a minute to open a book
It was too thick and felt kind of plasticky and cheap
The android interface was not really intuitive to me and i had to ponder for a
while on how to even open a book. I have owned 6 or 7 different ebooks spanning back to the Sony LIBRIé, PRS-500, PRS-505, Iliad, DR1000, Kindle and Kindle DX. I never found myself at a loss to navigate any of those interfaces, perhaps with time the nook would make more sense to me.
In my opinion the Sony 505/600/700 and the Kindle have much cleaner interfaces. The Nook will get the job done and perhaps 2 or 3 firmware updates later it will be a little more solid, but I would go with the Kindle over the Nook after seeing the Nook in person
