I decided to get one just because of the price and because I've found the Nook HD to be a useful tablet and wanted the larger size, and ordered it online from Walmart with in-store pickup. It was showing "in stock" at my local store. My "it's ready, pick it up now" email turned out to be a "sorry, we don't have it in stock and have wait for a shipment" email. So instead of getting the device today, I now have a time-frame of 3-6 days, with my new order date pickup date now June 19th, which is actually 8 days away.

If I had wanted it for a Father's Day gift, I would have be SOL.

So if you are ordering it that way, call the store first to make sure it is really in stock.
