I don't have an iPad so the value of this as a standalone may be something I can't imagine. I do have an iPhone and a nook. Using an Apple device as an extension of the nook as B&N seems to suggest is a horrible experience. I whip out the iPhone when I'm out and have a few minutes to wait for something. But I tend to use most of that time hunting for where I left off on the nook.
Until they create a way to sync your place across all these devices, it's not very useful for me. I'll get excited when they announce that and I'll cease to be jaded when they announce yet another device-specific app where I'll need to hunt for my place in my book.
"I'm a college student looking for a new laptop, but almost all of my media I receive digitally. I'm looking for a laptop, not a netbook, without an optical drive, and budget sensitive. The optical drive will just be a waste of space, when I can have thinner laptop. What's out there?"

@cromulentgeek Yeah agreed I find myself doing the same thing! If they could make it sync across devices that would be awesome.
