I bought the nook because I wanted a dictionary. I've looked up words in it and it's doable, but i have to navigate to the word with the arrows on the LCD screen which takes awhile.
I've used the wifi on the nook, but almost all my books are side loaded through Calibre/USB. I don't mind it being there, but I certainly wouldn't pay anything extra for it.
Now, even though my nook is only a little over a month old, I'm probably going to break down and buy a Sony 650 when they're available in store. That is, as long as the Pearl Screen is as clear as advertised. The glare on the 600/900's are what kept me from getting one of those models. I'd keep comparing the 600/900's to my 505 and the screens always came up way short.

I think you'll like the 650. When I played with it in-store, I brought my own 505 with me to compare.
The 650 is smaller than both the 505 and nook, and lighter. It has all the features of the 900, plus a couple more. The bezel is a little deep on the display, but the touch works quite well and the screen blows away the 505. It's contrast is a bit better than the nook as well.
I've had short ownership of a 700, 600 and 900, and what had me sell them all off is not that the features were poor, but the same as you, the screen had me go back to my 505. The rough edges on the nook had me send that back too. Even going back to my DR800SG after playing with a 650 is hard.
