There'll always be something to wait for. At some point you have to buy what's on the shelf.]]>Dec 4th 2009 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-early-adopters-promised-a-december-9th-shipment-10-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-early-adopters-promised-a-december-9th-shipment-10-online/
Yes but you're better off waiting to see what the Kindle 3 actually has to offer before buying the nook. As its probably only 2 months away....and will in all likelihood have a touch screen]]>Dec 4th 2009 4:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-early-adopters-promised-a-december-9th-shipment-10-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-early-adopters-promised-a-december-9th-shipment-10-online/
I follow engadget pretty closely, and there has been nothing on the Kindle 3. Both the Kindle and Kindle 2 had buzz months in advance, leaked pictures and documents. There has been nothing on the Kindle 3, but people keep saying it is right around the corner.

You can always wait, but what are the possible nook/kindle2 killers that the kindle 3 could possibly have? A touch screen doesn't seem like it would really add anything. A faster refresh, better contrast, better battery? None of these are worth missing out on the greatest geek feeling, being the first one the block with a new piece of tech.]]>Dec 4th 2009 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-early-adopters-promised-a-december-9th-shipment-10-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-early-adopters-promised-a-december-9th-shipment-10-online/And, hopefully, be down to $199 or so. I'll buy a Kindle at that price. I'm not stingy, I just don't have that much money to spend on awesome gadgets anymore.]]>Dec 4th 2009 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-early-adopters-promised-a-december-9th-shipment-10-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-early-adopters-promised-a-december-9th-shipment-10-online/
I apologize in advance if there has been a review of the nook for which I was aware of.

Thanks]]>Dec 4th 2009 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-early-adopters-promised-a-december-9th-shipment-10-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-early-adopters-promised-a-december-9th-shipment-10-online/Heck, some of us who DID pre-order the nook might be better off waiting. With no reviews, there's no telling whether or not it's a lemon. It's a risk, to be sure.

But there's the "how badly could they possibly screw up an e-reader?" question -- which I am reluctant to ask for fear of then finding out how badly.

Assuming we'll all find out next week.]]>Dec 4th 2009 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-early-adopters-promised-a-december-9th-shipment-10-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-early-adopters-promised-a-december-9th-shipment-10-online/

Took the Leap seems more like it.

Trusting $300 on the word of some online outlets. They MAY be right. I know I'm really interested in it but there was no way I was going to buy it without first getting my hands on it.]]>Dec 4th 2009 6:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-early-adopters-promised-a-december-9th-shipment-10-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-early-adopters-promised-a-december-9th-shipment-10-online/Dec 6th 2009 12:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-early-adopters-promised-a-december-9th-shipment-10-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-early-adopters-promised-a-december-9th-shipment-10-online/Dec 4th 2009 6:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-early-adopters-promised-a-december-9th-shipment-10-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-early-adopters-promised-a-december-9th-shipment-10-online/Dec 4th 2009 7:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-early-adopters-promised-a-december-9th-shipment-10-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-early-adopters-promised-a-december-9th-shipment-10-online/
You were dumb enough not to realize the insane demand for your product, and now many of us are holding out until they're available at full throttle, because this "Your order will ship on December 12 *hiccup* I mean January 25th" is complete bullcrap.

Sincerely
God.

Preguntas? Why are so many companies guilty of absolute idiotic marketing campaigns and failure to estimate correctly the millions of customers interested in these products. Just look at Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. Pure Genius! Good Job Activision. Now please help Sony & their PS4 Launch.]]>Dec 4th 2009 10:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-early-adopters-promised-a-december-9th-shipment-10-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/04/nook-early-adopters-promised-a-december-9th-shipment-10-online/I placed my pre-order (I'm guessing) just after the first cutoff and had received a Dec 7th shipping date. When I saw the article on Engadget about the $10 gift certificate I was mildly disappointed, but felt the gesture was a nice compensation for the the delivery date changes. Then I checked my email....

It turns out that the offer is only for those who pre-ordered the Nook in the first group. Those of us with Dec 7th dates (or later) are not receiving the late shipment gift, and are supposed to believe that overnight shipping "this week" means that our Nook will arrive on the 16th.

I understand product delays. I understand that the best businesses will sometimes make mistakes - as they are reliant on their vendors, and unforseen hardware/assembly issues. What I don't understand is a company deciding, in this day and age, to attempt to wrap up a product delivery delay in misdirection, additional false claims (shipping to me "this week"), and choosing to compensate people affected in the same manner - differently.

B&N needs to hip-check its Marketing crew out of the way and deliver an honest, direct explanation to those of us who dropped almost $300 to purchase a product that is receiving luke warm reviews. Treat all of us the same (I don't even want the $10) and fess up - that's all consumers want. Otherwise, they're just another fast talking, deceptive retailer trying to grab our wallets.

Me.

Here Comes Your nook
