Just wanted to let everyone know I returned from my business trip last night and my nook and Industrielle case were waiting for me. I let it charge overnight and now that I've had an hour or two to play with it, I am very pleased.

I didn't think to order a micro SD card for it so I will pick one up when I go return the Sony Daily Edition I have been testing for the past two weeks. Comparing the screens, I definitely think the nook provides better contrast.

Also, I like the fact that the nook is Android based and very flexible with developers improving on the firmware. If there was some way for B&N to provide and SDK so we didn't have to worry about updates, it would be even better.

Do I have any questions? Not yet but I am sure some will come along once I play more with the device. I will be doing the softroot thing once I get the SD card.

Thanks to all; this forum played a large role in helping me make the decision.
