Hi BMatt as an owner of the nook, I can address some of your concerns.
1. Weight - while it may be heavier than the new Kindle or the Sony at 11 oz that doesn't make it heavy. It weighs as much as a 400 page trade paperback. So if that was just fine then so will the Nook.
2. Battery Life - Again I get 5 to 8 days, I find this more than ample spacing between charges.
3. Glare- Well there was a person who would swear this was like looking into the sun but in reality its not. The bezel is a glossy white, white isn't like a glossy black you see on a TV so it isn't bad at all. I and most others have 0 problems with it. But if it is a little annoying you can always put a skin on it or a cover that conceals the bezel. But to be hones it's nothing unless you are really really really sensitive to it.
4. Screen contrast on the Nook before pearl was one of if not the best contrast. While the Pearl screen is better, it's not leaps and bounds better. The Nook screen is still one of the best.
I hope this helps you out concerning the Nook
and also I agree with Prof. get one with wireless either 3g and Wi Fi or at least just Wi Fi, trust me you won't regret it. The Wi Fi only Nook goes for $149 and if at Best Buy you also get a $25 Gift card for Free.
Good Luck
