My local Bestbuy had a Kindle 3 on display that was purely a demo unit next to a fully functioning Nook and Sony 950. It was hard to even consider the Kindle in that setting; it just showed about 3 screens in a loop. The store display is what made the decision for me. They showed me Nook lag is not that bad, and the Pearl screen was almost indestinguishable from the Nook's Vizplex. So Nook it was (giving as a gift). For myself, the store displays showed me netbooks were the way to go.
