nook or PRS-600?

This is my first post here. I've read a lot of articles and reviews on various e-readers and have narrowed down my choice to two units, the B&N nook or Sony PRS-600. I can't afford to spend any more than $200 at this time.

The ability to display PDFs correctly is very important to me. I intend to purchase books and download to my PC, then transfer them to my reading device. Currently I have a few books in AZW and LIT but I can always convert them if needed. I also have many PDF documents that are important for me to have on the road.

I like the nook's screen clarity but the Sony's faster page-turning and navigation, like going directly to a specified page number rather than using a slider as with the nook.

Do I have to pay or have a subscription for the nook's wireless? How does it work? I live in a rural area where there are no B&N stores any nearby. I don't have a cell phone, only Roadrunner and ooma.

When will the nook 2 or Sony's equivalent arrive? Does anyone have any information? Maybe I'd be better off waiting for them.
