Good review. I watched the videos on the Nook as well... now I kind of feel like I bought an eReader a couple months too early. While the Nook looks noticeably bigger/thicker/heavier than the Kobo, it's got a replaceable battery (a huge feature!), tons more functionality (granted, I like a "just for reading" device), and wi-fi.

I'll console myself with the fact that the Kobo is the lightest, most compact eReader out there of the major contenders, but it still kind of hurts to so quickly have the "great deal" price advantage of the Kobo evaporate, particularly when early Kobo adopters had to put up with two months of major bugs before a firmware update was released.
