My thought is that Best Buy & Barnes and Noble did not want to subsidize it until the annotation feature was complete and they had proper support for the latest DRM for the bookstore. If the annotation feature is on hold until April now, I doubt we will see it before then.

Even if it does show up before April. I won't buy it until the features are working and I've seen someone review all of the features. I hope they come through on their promises, but I am not holding my breath.
