It's irrational but this makes me lean towards their product instead of the Kindle Fire. Go B&N!

I don't think it's irrational. Vote with your wallet. And btw I have Nook simple touch and I can recommend it.
Not irrational at all. I vote with my wallet - I bought my second Nook a couple months back and intend to buy a third one.
The Nook Touch is awesome.

The only reason I am not buying a couple more is that they are only supposed to be used in the US, unlike the Kindles.

You must use an IP address in the US for book and software purchases, but, from that point, the items get downloaded to your device regardless of where it is.
Not to mention the fact that if you search nook gpl your first result contains a link to their legal page, which has links to tarballs :)
I'm quite happy with my Nook Color.
