I sold my Nook Color to a Craigslist buyer this evening, and in less than an hour, had purchased a new Nook Tablet. Call your local Barnes & Noble. Some have reserved stock, others have none, and if you're lucky, you'll be close to a store that has stock available to any customer. The Nook Tablet is MUCH faster than the Nook Color. I never liked how when scrolling from screen to another on the NC, there was a laggy unresponsiveness causing the background to jitter. The screen switching on this NT is very smooth. Books open faster, pages turn faster, and Netflix and Hulu look fantastic. Since buying the NC in March of this year, I have moved past my fears of rooting, and I am excited to see how this thing flies on CM9.
