One of the cool things for people that like messing with these things is that the Nook is running Android, deep deep down, so I can install custom apps and WPA Supplicant configs to get on my University Wifi. I can literally drop PDFs and EPUBs (and probably a bunch of other formats I haven't had to use) onto the Nook with no external applications and have them detected and available for reading. The Nook simple touch (the new basic one) is also very appealing. I've seen it in stores, and it feels a lot more like a paperback. On the other hand, the Nook Color has Angry Birds. I can't argue with that :D
