Many folks have commented that the background on the Nook screen is whiter and that they prefer that. This is the third or fourth person who has shared that observation this week.
No matter what the manufacturers tell us, the clarity of the screen is going to be based on individual perception. I could see some difference between the Pearl and older screen but not nearly as much as people 10-20 years older then I. Now I am reading about the whiter background on the older screen being prefered to the greyer screen on the Pearl.
I have no idea about Nook Launch but if you find that you prefer the Nook's screen then that is a perfectly good reason for buying a Nook.
I would caution you to hold onto your Sony for a bit. You could find that the navigation differences between the Nook and Sony are different enough that you want to keep the Sony.
I think moving from a Sony to the Nook, Kindle, or Kobo is going to be a bit interesting for anyone. Once you are use to using the touchscreen on the Sony to do anything using the buttons or smaller LCD screen for navigation could feel awkward.
