These are some trivial things, but I have to go by a particular standard in case Barnes & Noble decides to clean up the initial design of the nook.

Some hardware changes:

- Merge the page turning keys to 1 per side, please, I understand that there is a certain consistency requirement for physical/touch hybrid devices, but
even though it isn't an issue I can see complaints in the horizon.

CRITICAL UPDATE to #1:

Actually, scratch that, the buttons are ok

- Individualize the home button, I am proud that B&N had added a really flush
button, but wouldn't it be better if the sensor was more tightened? I mean I don't want to end up going to front page just cause I'm cleaning the bottom screen.

- Add a better MicroSD slot, external even. I don't like the fact that I have to
fiddle with a fragile restraint to just put in a single card, an external slot is
a basic addition to more then half the poplation of electronic devices this
second half of a decade.

These are just my two cents, please, move on if you hate particular idea's of change.
