My experience is similar to yours. The very first tablet/eReader I bought was the Nook Color. I chose it for at least three reasons: I wanted to support an eBook 'underdog'; there is a brick-and-mortar B&N store just 45 minutes away from me; and, I heard that you could do something to it called "rooting". That, I heard, would allow me to install the Kindle app, too, and read eBooks from either provider (or Kobo, or whoever).
That was a few years ago. I gave the Color to a friend, but still have some fond feelings for it. But I agree that B&N seems to be going out of its way to make it hard for us to like them!
