The Nook on the other hand is excellent in low light, has excellent contrast and is not a gadget imho.

I highly recommend the Nook over the Sony any day
Just arrived back home from my first business trip with the PRS-900 last night. I have to say I agree with the quote above. The screen was attrocious on the flight last night. I had to find the right position to hold the reader due to glare. This was using the overhead light in the cabin.

I ordered a Nook online Tuesday so it should get here today. I'll do a quick comparison but the 900 goes back to Best Buy tomorrow.

The features and interface of the 900 is excellent, though. Too bad the screen doesn't live up to expectations.
