I have just purchased my first Ereader -- the Nook. My son has a Kindle so we have been comparing features. Downloading from the library is a huge option for me so the Kindle is out of the running.

After using the Nook, I'm happy with the experience in general. However the dictionary is a problem -- it's just cumbersome, especially after seeing how convenient the Kindle has made their dictionary.

However... with epub downloads on the Nook, the dictionary is not an option. From what I can tell, only with NookBooks can the dictionary be used.

Is this the same with the Sony 650 or 950? The touch screen option on the Sony is very appealing to me -- navigating to a word with the Nook completely disrupts the reading process.

I am planning to look at the Nook Color also but the battery life is a concern.

Any advice?
