Well, I see there's a lot of traffic on this thread. Since I'm the original poster on this one, I thought I'd give an update on my decision. I decided to wait on my nook order to arrive and try it out and decide after I've used it. I am a little worried about it with all the problems people are reporting but I hope B&N will have updates out to fix it shortly. I determined the best way to know is to get it and try it myself so this is what I'll do. Thanks.
