I just bought a new Nook classic and now I'm wondering whether to return it before the 14 day chumpy. The question is, would I read as much off an LCD?

I am very happy with my current nook as an ereader. I am getting the color nook for:
  • reading magazines w/color
  • experimenting with some of the new animated color content (kids stuff, etc)
  • graphic novels, comic books, etc.
  • movies
  • pdf support, pinch zoom, etc, great for work
  • reading books sometimes
  • picture galleries (dogs, bikes, vacations) to show friends at work
  • experimenting with multi-touch interfaces
  • random android hacking/experimenting in java

At work they discourage paper copies of documents for various iso9000 style reasons. Drives me nuts as my work is already taking up 3-5 terminals, a code editor and a few browser windows. I don't want to supposedly be keeping a iso process document open live from our doc store open. So I will open them on my color nook if/when I need to.

I may port the app we use for iphones to schedule movies on DVRs over to android as well.

Do you know for a fact that you can use NOOKColor for those things or this was just your wish list?
I am on the fence right now and am wondering if it's at all possible to use it for all those things you mentioned... I have tons of PDF's with tables and formatting that just falls apart when displayed on nook classic.

I can confirm
  • mpeg4 support for movie playback
  • pdf support with multi-touch zoom etc.
  • picture slideshow, galleries
android development will be available via the SDK they are offering for nook color work. I will hack mine as soon as possible for generic android hacking.

When you mentioned movies I thought of YouTube videos. That will play too? So you could essentially use it as a tablet?

Flash support will require the next version of android which B&N has promised in 6 months or so on the color nook. The color nook hw at release will run the new android when it is out. So there is no need to wait for new HW.

The first version will not have flash, so no youtube at first. But it will get there. And there may be some workaround as mpeg4 is the "HD" version of youtube so the color nook may have youtube. That is how the iphone does youtube without flash. Once it is in my hands I will be able to say more about what can be done out of the box and what can be done with minimal user workarounds and what can be done with hacking.

I will hack the heck out of it at some point but I may end up with two of them if I decide to get really down to the bare iron on it. One that I keep basically untouched and one for complete experimental discovery. But getting two really means I convinced my wife to let me. And that the first one is a success.

I was impressed at how the SW on the original nook was handled. It got better with every release and they didn't come out with incompatible future HW and stop offering features on the original nook. The original nook HW runs the current ereader SW version and gets excellent performance. That is a pretty good track record.

I wish the product I support could say the same. We made some "errors" in our design so the product I run in my home doesn't have the full feature set now available. No need to say more. (none of this paragraph relates to ereaders or the nook)

I am very excited about the color nook and can't wait until the 19th or 20th when I will receive mine.

Ordered it last night, cancelled the order today. Decided to wait and see what Amazon and others come out with, and hear some reviews.

Never read about, then order, cool new gadgets after having a couple of brewski's
