I've narrowed down my choice to a Kindle 3 and the Sony PRS-950. But I can find only a few reviews of the Sony. So far, I've found more reviews for the Nook Color than the Sony 950, and the Nook has only been out a week! It seems that the major tech sites (Gizmodo, Engadget, even NY Times) are all ignoring the Sony. So few people seem to be commenting on it compared to the Kindle or Nook, that I'm concerned it won't be around too long.

What do you users think of it? My concern is if I really need the touch screen. I'd like the 7" size (over the typical 6"), but is it really larger? (Is it just taller or is it as wide or narrower than the Kindle 3?). Is the page-turning as fast and the typeface as crisp as the pearl e-ink screen on the K3? Any comparative reviews would help. Thanks
