The nook latest Sony have Wi-Fi and new to it, so they didn't have the ability until now. Let's hope they have learned from Amazon's mistake but if you're going to be paranoid, keep your trigger ready.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Amazon did it once already. I don't think I am going to EVER buy ANY version of the Kindle until they get rid of the remote kill switch capability without my authorization. I think most kindle users are fools for even allowing that sort of thing to be on their devices and should be up in arms with amazon about getting rid of the capability. I guess Kindle consumers apparently don't care enough though because if they bothered to actually boycott the Kindle for this explicit reason, then Amazon wouldn't make money off the Kindle and thus would have to stop making the device with this particular 'feature'. Instead of the consumer dictating the features that they want and the company following suit, they are letting the company decide for them and the consumers consequently are led around with a leash.
Sony is no stranger to this either. The sony rootkit on music cds was pretty malicious, but you know what? I didn't buy or support these cds, neither did other consumers. Sony then went on and recalled these particular products off the shelves and gave new versions of the product without the 'feature'.
Speak with your wallet and stop letting companies walk all over you.
