If cost of 7" nook color screen less than eink screen, why price is almost twice expensive? I think they will drop price before X-mas.

I have no idea what the costs are.

But, I do know that the Nook's 7" capacitive touch 1024 x 600 IPS display is definitely more expensive than the Cruz's 7" resistive touch 800 x 600 standard LCD display.

This is just one of many reasons why the Nook costs more and why it's the better device.
