As with every electronic device it is very important to experience the design and feel of ther device, just to see if it fits your hand is in my opinion a MUST for something that costs so much money. nobody would buy a TV online if you haven’t had a look at it somewhere else in a store, why does Amazon think that poeple are willing to do so with an E-Reader.

B&N will have a huge advantage from this, just the possibilities in terms of promotion and consumer shows are much better now that you have the thing in stores. It makes the whole E-Reader sector much more tangablie for people.
Now they just have to finetune the device itself ( see http://www.e-reader-reviews.com/barnes-noble-nook-reader-review/ ,the last user review at the bottom) and the success can get started!:-)

Cheers from Switzerland,

One note for anyone else doing the manual update: close your current book first. I wound up losing my current position and “highest page read” on my open book. :(
