I am just curious to get the impressions of anyone switching form a Nook to a Sony Reader device, preferably one of the newer ones, though I guess it doesn't matter really. I am seriously looking at the PRS-650 but I cannot convince myself to go for it yet. All of the features seem to be great and what I would want in an eReader device, the new Pearl screen as well. The only thing that somewhat bothers me is the fact that there is no connectivity. I am always around computers, though, and side loading shouldn't be a big deal. I also am kind of cheap in general so I would likely look for deals and buy from the cheapest I could find, I believe there are ways to convert B&N and Kindle to Sony as well? How do these conversions go generally? Anyone really miss the connectivity factor of old device they have had?
