Congrats. I'm in the exact same position right now. The more I look at the Nook the more I realize I hate the thing, just ergonomically speaking. It's heavy, it's clunky, and the LCD touch screen didn't work in the store where I tried it. I really, really like the Kindle, but no epub...eh, not crazy about that. Then I'm told Kindles don't do pdfs very well, which I'm like, "what DOES it do?" So I dunno...I'm really considering the Sony PRS-350 but I'm really scared of the 5inch screen. I LOVE the idea of the touch screen and how it does pdfs better than most, but that small screen....and then Sony's book store is more expensive. It seems like every device does one thing really well, but none of the big 3 does everything. (Kindle does NOTHING apparently). The whole thing is really frustrating. I'm glad you've made a decision and feel it was the right one. I still need to check out a pocket reader in store to see if that size screen is just too small, but I'm don't have my hopes up. Sadly.
