I just finally got my nook yesterday. I think the reason you aren't seeing more people is definitely availability. I ordered mine over a month before xmas.

It's pretty nice so far, although it does still feel a bit "beta". It's rough to move around (to look up words in the dictionary for example), and the swiping to turn pages is not very intuitive, although i did figure it out and can reasonably reproduce it now (the buttons are still much nicer).

It's certainly usable at this point though, and is only going to get better. I love it, but it's my first e-ink reader (I had an old rocket e-book back in the day), and I've recently been reading on an iphone, so the flaws may be more noticable to someone who already has a kindle 2 and/or sony.

It really seems great hardware wise though.
