Why? There's no clasp on the cover itself, and the Nook (1 at least) has no magnetic switch for shutoff. Now I'm not at all happy about tossing the Nook in with my laptop (at least the ones with magnetic hard drives!).

The local B&N folks were unaware of the magnet (until I demonstrated it) and could not provide any explanation for its presence.... anyone here know?

The industriell cover comes in a top folding "easel" model that lets you stand your nook on a desk. The magnet is used in that model, with a clasp to hold the easel open.

I don't think it's powerful enough to affect your drives.
