Yea, if an update Nook is released with pearl and a little more streamlined I would consider it. Price isn't a deal breaker necessarily, I've nearly pulled the trigger on ordering a 650 and a case, but I am just cheap in general. I was interested in the 600 before but realized they'd be releasing something new soon and I've been trying to hold out for a new Nook as I have been hoping for an update to look at it. I think the kindle would probably be ok, but I think I'd be happier with a Sony or Nook. I tried to play with one at Best Buy the other day when I was there, they had a couple on display, but they weren't working for some reason. The B&N read while you are in store is nice, and of course the support in store is a plus, though I don't imagine I'd use it much.

Sony is definitely what I've really wanted, but I am having trouble justifying its cost. Kindle is the cheapest, though once you add the official case the price is the same as Nook with official case (lighted).

Another thing I am curious about, though I have a library a county or two over in my state that I can get a membership for $32/year, is if anyone has had any luck finding a library to lend eBooks from not local to them? I know the one somewhat local to me only charges $1 more for out of state memberships, so I wonder if there are others with good selections available elsewhere, though my local one may be sufficient.
