Being always connected to the bookstore so that all you have to do is navigate a friendly interface on the device, click Purchase, and start reading right away: that's a big issue for quite a few people.
The scenario probably doesn't resonate for most people on these forums (who are likely more comfortable with technology), but the device is targeted to a much wider audience.

this is a great point. My sister and I bought one for my father and the downloading books wirelessly is a God send for him. He still can not drag and drop songs for his Sansa clip Mp3 p[layer.
He has no problem buying books on line or off the nook itself.
I think the wirelessly downloading is greater feature than people think. On all levels of tech savvy or not. I have no problems sideloading books, but wirelessly no matter where you are at? I don't think people really know how great this is.
