Thanks dordale. I would do that, if I was 100% sure I wanted to switch before buying. Does anyone know, if I go into a sonystyle store, do I get the trade in credit instantly or would I still have to send it in first and wait? I may be tempted to do that if I get the $75 instantly, but I don't know...

OK, so I went to Best Buy today to compare everything. The 950 is awesome! I was surprised they had working demo units - last time in, when I originally got my nook, neither the Kindle nor the Sonys at the time had working units, only changing "wallpapers" of their features. Now, everything was working, all Sonys, both nooks and the Kindle.

The 950 is just about the same body size as my nook, but bigger screen. It's SO light compared to the nook, I am just imagining my hands/wrists not getting tired anymore while reading at night. Also, I love the organisational format, and the handwriting was better than expected. I was surprised that I don't even have to use the stylus to handwrite - I can just use my finger and it still writes in a small line rather than a wide streak, which is odd to see happen but I like it. And even though I was touching the screen I wasn't seeing any fingerprints, which I was worried about. So all in all, I want a 950! I will miss the nook colour cover flow though, but nothing is perfect.

And, I looked at the nook colour to for the heck of it. It was awesome! Very pretty and fun. But not for me.
