I was hoping it would turn up the heat on Amazon but now Apple seems to have done that with the iPad... and it drove ebook prices up. Ugh!

I'd argue rather, that the reviews are split.
Gizmodo loved it, Engadget felt it wasn't quite there(These are both 1.0 reviews, mind you)
The people who absolutely love the nook tend to be the more patient sort... I have noticed. Or who like it's openness to third party stuff.
I would agree that the iPad turned the heat up... Amazon is giving off hints that it will gladly spend it's life as an ebook seller for the iPad, rather than a cheaper competitor. Maybe BN will eventually do the same?
