Got my Nook Color for 120....and it does everything I wanted it to do...read comics, magazines, flipboard, netflix, hbogo etc. It might not be SUPER fast. But, as someone who bought it just to watch movies and read comics, it's perfect...plus it's small...which is a selling point for me as well. I have a nook color and cyanogen….I love it.

How can they already have so many preconditioned ones? I am already on my third preconditioned one! I regret purchasing Nook Color and tell anyone.

I have since switched to Blockbuster @Home from my employer, DISH, and have been much more satisfied. It even comes with extra movie channels and the disc by mail service. I love it.

Why would Nook color owners looking for tablet functionality buy a Nook Tablet? BN clearly ran a risk of losing those customers to Amazon. Netflix and better magazines makes the switch less enticing. 2. Given the strategy to keep the Nook Color for sale, it had to be competitive. 3. Also, BN has "quietly" sold thousands of Nook Colors for $120-150. This has not been as public as the HP fire sale, but it is a blatent attempt to get the Nook platform in as many hands as possible by Christmas Suppose as you suggest that Barnes and Noble ignored the Nook Color…
