I can't open the nook because it's going to be a gift. Now I am doubting should I give this gift, because that person also owns a kindle, it would such a downer for the slow speed despite the touch and color screen.

The only thing that is getting me really interested is that i've been buying book for years at ereader.com in PDB format and that it would be compatible with the nook. This was i'm protecting my investment. That's the problem with DRM. I guess the future should be EPUB I wonder if the nook will be available in Canada.

It is (currently) slower than the Kindle, and I notice it even when I'm not stopwatch timing it, as I did for this review. But if you, coming to it without preconceptions, do not find it slow, I actually feel a lot better about it. I hope it continues to be exactly the eBook reader you want!

Could be due to the fact that it's my first eInk device and I don't have a Kindle to compare it to...I will be even happier if it DOES get faster though! However, I don't find the speed to be a drawback at all and am very much enjoying using mine so far. :-) Keep us updated with your thoughts as the firmware updates roll out!

I'll update here if speeds improve after I get it. Eddie, my software version shows as 1.0.0, so I’d guess I have not yet received the update. I’ll update here if speeds improve after I get it.
