I have considered the Nook in the past and I am not sure what their latest model is like. Have they followed suit with Amazon and Sony in upgrading the display, firmware and etc? When I tried the Nook before, I had to remove the back cover to get the SD card in and out. Does one still have to do this?

I have a PRS-600 now and the problem with upgrading to wireless (such as the PRS-950) is that it doesn't let me connect to my PC or my own server where I might store books and PDFs. The wireless aspect only allows me to download books from the manufacture's store. Since I have a plethora of PDFs and I typical buy eBooks from sources
other than Sony, I don't think Wifi will be very useful to me. I
may be more inclined to buy from the B&N store since there prices are pretty good at times, but I can't guarantee. The truth is, much of what I read are PDF journals, free material, or library books that are not available at Sony or B&N.

I won't be using LCD. I should have stated e-Ink as a requirement.
I guess what I really want to know is if there are competitors out there to take serious that are NOT Amazon, B&N, Borders, and Sony?
