I know that not everyone can go to Best Buy and compare both devices but if you did, comments like this would disappear. The OP already said she preferred the Nook screen to Kindle so you can continue to state that Pear is 50% better but the truth is the latest upgraded to Nook erased 90% of that difference.
I would also say that IMO one shipping delay after using B&N without issue before is hardly a reason to give up on the device. I have had no issues with B&N (fingers crossed). Of course once you had the Nook in your hands shipping would become nothing but downloads, so far no problems with the ebook store either.
Having said that, I love the Sony’s I just could not justify the large price difference.
Good Luck
