My armchair research has turned up a couple of concerns which I would like Nook users opinons on
1. The weight or heft of the Nook compared to the Kindle 3 or Kobo, is it a issue in use, I suppose it could be looked on as a indicator the Nook was not built down to a price.
2. The touch screen how responsive is it in use, is there a lag, does one get used to it, does the glare of a sunny day wash it out. I have viewed Len Edgerly's 4 way comparison which raised concerns with me regarding the touch screen control.
Any helpful advice appreciated

1. I regularly read my Nook with one hand. The heft did not bother me at all.
2. I got used to the touch screen. It wasn't really a big deal to me...most of the time, I was reading the e-ink.
