Does anybody know the Nook model in the picture

The really affable salesperson, Mike Blum, visited while I was having coffee in the coffee shop in Barnes & Noble in New Jersey and he withstood my teasing with good-natured reverse banter. I said: hey, I heard there was a promotion -- buy one Nook, get one free -- and without missing a beat, he said, Hey, I'll throw in a FREE TOTE BAG when you buy your Nook. He learned I was a handyman and he passed my business card to the lady at the next table. And he demonstrated the Nook, how to get a scheduler-app (which hey maybe I could use, being a paper-and-pen type of guy) and we even looked at my soon-to-be-deleted Google "knol" article. Long story short: Blum's a good guy and I hope we can keep his photo in here (just so the next time I'm in there, I can kid him about it). And it went back and forth like this in a spirit of fun. Does anybody know which model Nook it is? If so please update the caption, thanx.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 00:25, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Was Nook Simple Touch really US$100,039 when it was released?

What is the real starting price of NST on release? $139? $100? It surely wasn't US$100039, as stated in the article. "released on June 10, 2011 at a retail price of US$100,039." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.29.182.169 (talk) 17:28, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch. That was some vandalism from a month ago. I have reverted it, so the correct price was $139. –Mabeenot (talk) 21:19, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Imperial units

Why are the weight & dimensions still in imperial units? Should at least offer the metric ones as well.
