hacker costs

The readers that get hacked are going to cost B&N engineering, support and management time.

Your Nook Color was fine when it left the factory. You have "nooted" it and now you are wasting my precious time when you are the fool!

Call me back when you have "un-nooted" your Nook and we can talk!"

I wish there were some way to bet you money that hacking has affected the price of nooks by as much as a dime a unit.

The only way I can see it jacking the price is by raising demand for them by making them more appealing.

it looks pretty good, but I just got a Kindle yesterday!
well, at least it was a freebie and also came with a $100 Amazon gift card
Why the sad face? The Kindle is a great reader plus it looks like you had an awesome deal with it.

she's undoubtedly counting her special offer discounts.

You also get a 100 dollar gift card if you sign up for an Amazon Visa through one of their offers, which does almost make it free. (though you can get a 30 dollar card for signing up without the KSO)

I'd so love to see Amazon make something like this since I am a very happy Amazon customer.... but this thing could make me move to B&N someday. I'm happy with my Kindle and I really can't afford a new eReader right now, but glory that thing is lovely.

sad face is because how can I justify another reader when I've got three and just got the Kindle yesterday.

The free Kindle plus a $100 gift card was from a credit card offer. If I spent a total of $500 in the first three months, I get the free Kindle and the $100 gift card. Since I put gas, groceries, drugstore, etc. on the card I did that in the first month. My husband said I should cancel the card now that I have the Kindle. There wasn't anything in the agreement that said I couldn't!

I would think for a nice full hold on it without risk of accidental touch's.

judging by it's size, weight, shape, and contoured rubberized back with physical buttons on both sides, it looks lke the really had the one handed reader in mind.

It is a interesting design decision taking the other touch reader designs into consideration.

It doesn't look as squat in the second picture - maybe the first picture is distorted.

I kind of like the big bezel - it gives you somewhere to put your hands.
