Unlike some of the other mainstream press, my review was mostly positive for the B&N nook because it has an awesome eInk display (rivals the Sony 505) and is an excellent ebook READER. The other parts may not be extremely fast and a bit clunky, but the bottom line is that the reading experience is top rate with the nice navigation buttons on both sides and clear display. A couple people have already posted links to my ZDNet review and video so I won't do that again.

One thing I am VERY happy to report on is that 99% of my purchased Sony Reader content works perfectly on the nook (http://blogs.zdnet.com/mobile-gadgeteer/?p=2246). EPUB is really the new standard format that is rocking the ebook world and I couldn't be happier with my nook purchase.

I am also testing the beta of their LendMe technology and will have a post up on Monday on ZDNet reporting on my experiences with this capability. I will tell you now it is easy and works well.
