I'm expecting comic book support to come as well.

I hope you're right about their strategy. This
isn't a tablet, nor is it, I think, meant to be one.

The price is pretty affordable. I think it grabs the " I want all the capabilites of what the iPad can offer in an ereader but don't want to pay that much"
At $250 the nook color comes in to play.
I watched the demo, this has some nice features, really nice. The specs are high end. it uses an LG IPS panal, IPS are pretty much the top of line. it has a 1024 x 600 resolution. The screen is going to very very sharp.
I'm very interested. But I'll keep my origianl nook for reading novels but the Nook color for webbrowsing , magazines and newspapers etc.

It's pretty (SHINY!!), LOL. I can see lots of people going for the color experience. And as long as they go into it looking for a READER, not a TABLET, it should satisfy the eyecandy loving portion of the marketplace.
I just got my Sony, and love it, and don't need anything else (I already have the Asus, which converts to a tablet configuration). But it
is pretty.
