It would seem then that even though Nook is cool, or cooler than Kindle, there is some danger in getting it and end up not being able to use it if things don't go well for BN. If Spring can come up with the e-mail records, they might have a good case.
Perhaps Kindle is still a more mature and proven choice, at least for now.
I was really hoping for Nook to take off though, and still hope that's the case. After all, the reason I hesitate to get a Kindle is due to the closed eco-system of the Kindle system, which makes Amazon the gatekeeper in that case. My understanding is that such is not the case with BN's Nook.
The irony is that Amazon does have an awesome MP3 store that is DRM-free with a large selection and often good prices. Yet that is a completely open format, which is preferrable.
On the note about Amazon, I recently came across an interesting table that details the discounts on Amazon.
Maybe you will find it useful too. While you are there, I would suggest checking out the "Amazon Filler Item" among other things there when you get a chance. It's quite amusing.

That's almost word for word (except for underlined sentence) what "john" said, even down to the misspelling of "preferable".
UPDATE: After looking at John's comment history, it seems that every post of his flogs uberi. It's spam.
Props on being one of the most relevant spammers I've seen, though.
