I checked back at BB, and they FINALLY have the 350 and 950 on display. I know the screen on the 350 is the same size as my 300, but it sure looked bigger. I loved the display, but will stick with my 300 for now.
The salesman was trying to be helpful, but he was clearly clueless about my main need for a reader. He told me the nook was best because it was android based and was the only reader you could loan books out with. I pointed out that I don't need a multi-purpose device to read a book, and they are no longer the only device to allow loaning, as Amazon announced that Kindle would allow it. He also seemed to think most if not all books could be lent. I hated to inform him that, no, it is only a few, as the publishers had to allow it, and you can pretty much bet the Agency 5 wouldn't. He didn't know about the Agency 5, or how some publishers were forcing their own pricing on ebooks, until I explained.
On a related humorous note, when anyone touched either nook at BB it set off alarms that had to be reset. They couldn't just disable the alarm, all they could do is reset them. So they have two demos that can only be admired from a distance. As I wandered the store I heard it go off several more times. I walked out after telling someone they should really look into turning off the alarm so people could actually try out the demos.
