jackitsu:

I have the Nook, Sony PRS 300 & Sony PRS 350. I will most likely sell my PRS 300 & keep the PRS 350. I like both the Nook & Sony's for different reason.

Both the PRS 300 have 5" screens, but the PRS 350's screen is so much better than the 300. Right now, you could probably find the 300 deeply discounted, but it lacks a dictionary. It's slightly larger & thicker than the PRS 350. Both are compact within their own right.

All three (Nook, PRS 300 & PRS 350) are flexible concerning ebook format (ie: epub) and available sources for ebooks (library access, you can purchase e-books from other sources).

While the Nook has the touch screen for page turning, I rarely use it. But, I like the other navigation options the touchscreen offers. The screen is crisp & clear & you can adjust the font type & size. I have e-books from other source than B&N, that I've "sideloaded" without any issues. The dictionary is a little clumsy to use. I've had my Nook since it's first release without any issues!

If there's a Bestbuy near, you can "test" drive either for 30 days & then decide which one is best for you!
