I described the Nook as a high involvement, mainly thinking purchase, but one that does straddle the line between thinking and feeling. Reading is a very personal, emotion-driven experience for many people, and Barnes & Noble did a good job of (in my opinion) reaching out to those users in their "What's Your Nook" campaign. Hard to compete with Amazon and Apple in the tech-driven tablet market, but to emphasize their products as "one for the pure reader" might be an interesting way to go..
