So, I figure if someone figures out a way to sideload the Android Kindle app on the Nook Color, that'll probably help with sales to people who already have a big Kindle library going, but prefer the Nook hardware. We all know it has the capability of running the app, but is locked down...

For me it's not relevant, as this is my first e-reader and I'll only have purchased B&N ePubs (de-DRM'd and archived so I'm not locked into a platform or store). But for many people I know this is a big issue that will end up leading them to an iPad or Android tablet if they decide to go with an LCD. However, from what I can tell the pixel density and image quality on the NC is superior to both iPad and Galaxy Tab. Hence better for reading.

Thoughts?
