Btw, folks, having found that the nook battery life is apparently measured in (10-15) hours, not days, the PLUS is looking a LOT better. I guess the nook will last for the advertised 10 days if you turn it completely off between uses, but I'm kinda spoiled from being able to take the PPro to Hawaii for 10 days (standby between reads) and only charged it before getting on the plane home because being down to the last bar worried me. Since then, I have found I can use it down to no bars, and a couple hours after it starts TELLING me the battery is low.

Speaking from the perspective of Jenifer "Jenifer" not Jenifer "PR", I've heard from Nook users that there is still a burn-out problem with the screen, or whatever the name is for words still being stuck on screen when a page is turned. That and the pointless lower display. And I do really appreciate leaving my PPro on all the time and just picking it up like a regular book. My battery has only died once, and it was so shocking I asked the tech if my device broke.
I personally own a Kindle and a PPro. My rank of eBook readers are:
1. PPro
2. Kindle (which I no longer use, but prefer to Nook)
3. Nook.
