    I asked my wife if she wanted one of these and her response was "you bought me a knock off iPod (a Zune) and that thing bricked after 2 weeks. I really don't want a knock-off Kindle." I think she won. #nookereader

    I just ordered one and it gave me a date of December 11 for shipping. I'd say if you plan to get one for the holidays, better do it now, indeed. #nookereader

    I'm waiting for this to be reviewed before buying one. I would love to have an e-reader for all the PDFs I read in grad school, but I have yet to see one that has sold me on the way it highlights and lets me annotate the text. Until there's one that does that well, I'm sticking with my analog printouts. #nookereader

    @Nathan Obbards: Preorder one now and it'll schedule to ship on December 11th. That'll give you enough time to check reviews or go into the store and try one out when it comes out on November 30th.

    Also, you could consider Plastic Logics's Que. I'm almost certainly going to get that when it comes out next year for reading law school cases on, and I imagine since it's the size of a 8.5x11" piece of paper, you should be able to use it in place of any printouts you were planning on doing.

    I'm personally getting both, I'm just going to forgo some $250 in purchases this month to pay for the Nook. #nookereader

    @Brian Bochenek: Yep. You'll have 14 days to return it from that point. Just bear in mind that if you open the packaging, even remove the shrink wrap, you will be charged a 10% restocking fee. If you don't open it, you can get a full refund from what I understand.

    Personally, I vote the Que if you want PDFs. Letter/A4 size PDFs rarely translate well to a 6" screen. Sure, plenty of them support PDF but that doesn't mean it works well. #nookereader

    Demand for a Tamagotchi used to pretty high too, which is funny because that's another gadget with a black and white screen that I would never use. #nookereader

    SonyStyle: an exercise in how not to have a retail store.


    Small, cramped, harshly lit, staffed with know-nothings and not enough of them, poorly laid out, inadequate pricing signage, and with no conspicuous signage outside to let you know the store exists.


    That's okay, Sony. You don't have to advertise your non-PS3 products. I'm sure everyone knows about your products without any promotional materials.

    @Xjep:


    Small: Apple's 57th Street and SoHo stores are not small.


    Cramped: They're not as cramped as the Sony Plaza store either


    Harshly lit: Apple stores are brightly lit. Sony's Plaza store is lit with blinding track lights.


    Staffed with know-nothings and not enough of them: Apple's tealshirts do know their products. They're well indoctrinated.


    Poorly laid out: I'll take the big open space of an Apple Store over the narrow winding walkway of the Plaza store any day.


    Inadequate pricing signage: I don't recall seeing any pricing signage at Sony's Plaza store


    No conspicuous signage outside to let you know the store exists: There's a large window display but the flagship plaza store is in some office building. The 57th Street Apple Store is impossible to miss.

    @OMG! Ponies!: They've been readying a new Sony Store here in La Jolla near my office. The preparation has been taking longer than usual for a retail space. My guess is the downturn in the economy has slowed them down a bit.

    @OMG! Ponies!: There's something about the Sony Stores that make me want to not buy a thing. It's like entering a mausoleum of electronics. All the salespeople wear those corny headphones to communicate with each other like security agents - and the stores seem so bloodless and cold.


    I was in a Sony Store recently and asked about a TV and everything seemed so stilted, as if I were Oliver Twist asking for more porridge. It's like you just want to get out of there as soon as you can, like you're in some unfriendly person's unlived-in living room.
