My advice would be to hit Borders to try out the Sony and Kobo models, and B&N to see a "live" nook. I never thought I'd use Sony's dictionary much, but it's really nice for "when an author gets all word-y" - ha ha! I read a lot of nonfiction, and it handles footnotes quite well, too: tap in, read the item, and tap back to the text (they're tiny, so you've really got to aim the stylus carefully though!).
