The meetings between B&N and SD happened in Feb. 2009. Unless B&N can prove that they were developing Nook way before then and did not use any information gathered from those meetings on Nook, B&N will lose the injunction. And no, I am not a laywer. :)

Assuming Spring Design’s patents are valid, the Nook would be in trouble even without having such close contact with Spring Design during it’s development phase.

I still think that for my uses, a 7-10″ LCD tablet would be more suitable, as I don’t sit down often to read a book for hours.
