Yeah, but I can't find any details on just WHAT they are going to add password protection to. They could just be putting a password on front to get into the device, which isn't really going to help. I think if they were addressing the problems of kids getting free access to the internet, they would refer to "Parental Controls" coming.
Don't get me wrong, I think the pros far outweigh the cons on the device and I've gotten my daughter one - and am very excited to surprise her with it on Christmas - but there is this one issue for me. But I'm creative and will find a solution that works for me
If you don't want your child to get on the internet at home, you could add a password to your wireless router and not tell your child. With a nook, you can only get on the internet with wifi anyway, so while this wouldn't work in public places it could be a solution at home.
