If it even matters anymore, I'm buying now. I was sitting on the fence waiting for a Nook 2/Nook Lite, but the lack of any detail what-so-ever is just starting to really sour me on Barnes & Noble.
Plus I've been playing with Calibre and the transition from epub to mobi isn't very taxing. I also toyed with the Library excuse but I honestly use the Library mostly for audio books and those I listen to on other devices anyways. So it all came down to the bonuses of epub vs better screen/battery/weight of the Kindle, and B&Ns silence pushed me to overcome the epub problem.
If anyone is waiting on price drops, don't. Consumer electronics rarely go on sale for the holiday's unless there is a large market competition (as in number of distrubtors such as with cheap cell phones and PC parts) so don't expect ereaders to get any special deals. Even when those do go on sale its usually a rush to cut prices and Amazon/BN already cut prices earlier this year and thanks to Sony not matching them there isn't much driving another price cut.
