the new edition is much prettier, that's for certain. personally i find extra menus/buttons/keyboards on the border of the device takes away from the reading experience. the touch screen menu on the bottom of the first edition seemed to be the complaint i heard most often (despite the keyboard on the kindle). i invested in the first edition nook a few weeks before the 'newer gen' ereaders jumped on the market, and i found the performance on the device to be lacking.
i have some beefs with the way the product is advertised. they boast having the most advanced eink technology, but there doesn't seem to be a specific grading system attributed to eink. does the higher end eink technology increase alongside the levels of greyscale available? they also boast having a very light device, but the specifications don't state what material it's made out of. another preference of mine is not to have a device made of plastic. it seems that this model is a "catch up" model for barnes and noble. the nook color doesn't exactly fit into the market as an e-reader, as i see it. it's a better product relative to lower end ereaders and their previous edition, but it hardly seems innovative when compared to other devices available. |

I don't like the rounded corners. Reminds me that my Bookeen Cybook Opus has them, and when I used a hard stand behind it, it didn't sit well on it. (I haven't used the Cybook since I bought the Sony PRS-350.) Other than the rounded corners, it looks fine to me. I was disappointed in my first Nook. It was too reflective around the edges of the reading screen,on the lower screen and on the shiny white bezel.
