Using Nook?!

After using a Nook for three hours, I put it on my bookshelf and haven't touched it for two weeks. The experience is not delighting at all, and I was kind of wondering, "seriously, they really put the product in the market for sale?"

OK, I have to admit that I'm not a fan of Ebooks or Ereaders (at least now), but allow me to tell you how Nook disappointed me.

• As the Nook was associating with another Barnes and Nobel account, I need to unregister it in the first place and register my own account. After I chose "unregister", Nook told me it was "unregistering" and it took more than an hour and still remained on the page. Then I realized I did not set up wifi for Nook, it did not have any wifi connection. Why not tell me there was no wifi connection?
• During that three hours, Nook crashed down for so many times. Sometimes it rebooted itself, in other cases, the Power button does not always respond my request to power off (I really wish I could take out the battery!), the only solution is to plug the Nook into power adapter...It's OK when I use it at home, but you can imagine it is totally unacceptable if use it outside.
• Functions like highlighting, taking notes and looking-up words could only be applied to books in epub format. I was really disappointed when I first discovered it but later I thought it does make sense: Adobe PDF Pro might be the only software to highlight and take notes on PDF file.(Updated: I'm wrong, Kindle 3 does offer enhanced PDF support.)
• I used the Nook user manual, which is in epub format to try the functions. I understand it cannot be intuitive without a touch screen, but I have to say that I feel so inconvenient to select starting point using the cursor and move the cursor to the ending point. It's just like nightmare. 
• With a small LCD screen in addition to the eink screen, look-up word should be displayed on the small screen instead of the main eink screen, which is more convenient for users allowing them see the definition and read the text simultaneously.
• Using web browser is awful, (maybe that's why they call it BETA), unable to browse content naturally. Even loading Google reader will bring Nook to crash. Honestly, never want to try browsing with Nook anymore. (I'm using Nook, again, browsing magazines, and it crashed.)
• Unlike Amazon's free download of first chapter, Barnes and Nobel only provides overview of the book, which is really useless. Users have already lost the capabilities to browse book shelves and read books in physical bookstores. Book overview does not really tell the users whether the book is good written or worth reading.

Admittedly, Nook is NOT all that bad. The eink display is really great and comfortable to read. Even I feel so uncomfortable with highlighting and taking notes and browsing web, the second screen does ease the process a lot. Hard to imagine how those functions are supported in Kindle.
