Things the Nook needs:

The page turning buttons need to respond to a lighter touch

The sweep on the lower screen does not (barely ever) change the page reliably

The pdf reading capibility is very very poor need to be improved

The battery life is barely two days, need to be improvred and not by reducing functionality

Dump the color on the small screen, it is not needed

Do not flatten the file heirarchy!!!!

Don't need music and photos on an e-reader, delete and improve the rest of the thing.

So I am writing this a couple of months later so it may already be a moot point but here goes:

This is an e reader, it does not need a web browser, for me anyway.

This is January and the page turning on my nook does in fact respond to a light touch, don't forget, it is a button after all.

The sweep works great after a little use and also responds to a very light sweep.
Battery life is poor, hopefully an improved battery will be available. I also have the touch screen to 16% brightness and keep both the wi-fi and 3G turned off and in airplane mode all the time until I need it. Screensaver after 5 minutes and shutdown after 10 minutes.

File system definetly needs improvement!
Also a delete function should be added for the my documents section.

I don't use music but apparently a lot of people I have spoken with finds that a plus, besides, what about audio books. Pictures, definetly, for screensavers or wallpaper!!!

I like the color screen and the fact that except for the 4 page turning buttons, everything else is thru the touch screen, that was definetly a deciding factor for me.
