I'll probably get one down the line, but just figured it was better spend the money in other ways.

Usually a reviewer actually composes his or her own review instead of taking others' word for it. I would have been interested to read yours. Granted there is room for improvement - no new product is perfect right out of the gate - but I think the B&N model shows great promise. Even the "ideal" device as of late, the iPhone, still has problems in its third generation, and not all are due to AT&T. The vibrate feature is too weak, the mute button is too easily activated, and the sound sometimes goes off for no reason. The recent (Christmas Day) problems due to volume of book requests (unfortunate, but not unexpected I would imagine) indicate that some people are anxious to get started.
