My page forwarding button cracked after owning it for three weeks -- and I've been using it daily, too. It cracked all the way across the white portion of the bezel, too, from screen to edge. Naturally, I was disappointed, but then I realized that the button still worked, and I could still pull the back cover off without any problems. So, I thought, what the heck. Sooner or later everything I own gets to looking worn and used, why would this be any different? Having well-handled and weathered gear only goes to show how useful it is. And now I no longer have to handle it gingerly, trying to hang on to its pristine state.
So far I love my nook, and am not bothered by the freezing problem (now that I figured out to shim the battery), and relatively short-lived battery life, the inconsistent behavior of the touch screen, and, of course, now the cracked page forward button. Its other benefits far outweigh these bugs. I was dubious about the Sony eReader, and the Kindle, and I've been eying up other eReaders for about a year, but the nook is the first one that struck me as something I'd like using.
