Ok, so my Nook Touch will be renamed iNook, its case will become i-snazzy white and the price would be changed to $499.
But on the positive side I'll no longer be able to download public library stuff. Hurray!!! sorry.... i-hurrah.

Why would Apple buy Barnes and Noble when they could have bought Borders for much, much less? The only thing I can think of is the Nook...

"An “unproven source” indicated that Apple would purchase the company, incorporate its vast selection of electronic books into its own (struggling) e-book store for the iPhone and iPad, the iBookstore, and do away with Barnes & Noble’s Nook e-reader device. "

Doesn't bother me if Apple aquires BN. What bothers me is the thought of having the Nook Ereaders eliminated. They are great.
