Oh yes! I like pretty things, and there are som really pretty Nook Tablet covers available now. Almost enough to make me go for a refurb Nook instead of a Nexus. Almost...

Certainly if I was a reader and not a techie, I'd go with a Nook first over a generic tablet - it's a much better e-reader than a generic tablet, software wise. And there's a lot better case selection for the Nook than the Tab 2 or the Nexus.

I agree with tubemonkey

Today's customers do their home work. People now buy also based on specs, internal and external space, plus price and service.

No one will buy a $200.00 tablet knowing they can get a similar one with more stuff for the same, especially when you can run Kindle and B&N apps on the same Android machine without any rooting or similar.
