Throw me into the Love My Nook ring as well.
If anyone was turned off by the nook due to it's first reviews or it's first software, you really may want to reconsider looking at this e-reader again.
After the three software updates, the latest being the v1.3, this is really starting to live up it's potential. And the latest rounds of reviews from Cnet etc, ones who are re reviewing it are also reflecting this though as well
If my Nook needed a lung transplant, I would donate mine.
