Roobaroo, I was actually obsessed for several months! I had gadget paralysis! I really thought I was going to get a Nook, I have even been stockpiling free ebooks from B&N for a while. But when they didn't come out with a newer e-ink model this season, I started looking into the Sony. I'm thrilled with it, now I just might have to find a way to... ahem... use all those B&N books that I legally own.
Iridal, that sucks that your library doesn't have ebooks. My local library is closed for renovations for TWO YEARS and I'm having withdrawals. Hence the need for an ereader.
