What's the point of an e-reader without e-paper? I don't need my Kindle to play music or surf the web. I have a phone, computer, netbook, and tablet that can do all that. All I want to do with my Kindle is read books on e-paper.

Honestly, the nook seems like a cheap version of the iPad or Android tablets. I wouldn't compare it with the Kindle because if it doesn't have e-paper, it is not an e-reader.
