What are your thoughts on the nook tablet?

I have the Nook and love it- But I think it does have some serious flaws.

It has a great screen, the SD card slot, and is fast and responsive.

For reading, I like it better than the old Nook- The Screen is almost as good as the E-ink, but is a lot faster and brighter. The battery life isn't bad- I listen to downloaded podcasts all day at work, and with the brightness turned down and wireless off, it uses about 50% of the battery in 8 hours. I don't have any problem surfing or using the email app.

That being said I am seriously considering rooting it when they get around the lockout. B&N's content stinks. They do not have a music or video store yet, and the app selection is pitiful. They still don't have a Facebook or twitter app ( Except for Seesmic), don't have a podcast app ( I Manage them manually) and no audio book app. Since you're locked out of the Android Market and can't sideload apps, it really stinks.
