Ok, folks I think we have a decision!!!
I really liked the Sony 350, but the screen size made me hesitate, I was turning the page a lot. In canada it is not on sale and so is only $50 cheaper than the 650. I didn't want silver, I found the pink too reflective as it was.
I got my hands on a Black 650 (which I have not opened), and really thought I might go that way. The lack of wifi bothered me though, when it is the same price (here) as the nook color.
I must admit that the "nook color shortage" got to me and I hauled my kids down to Bellingham post haste. Didn't open it right away, but in the meantime figured out how to get covers to show and the more I thought about it the more I realized I really did want the color and touchscreen. Sure the battery life is shorter than the sony, but I was going to end up buying a power adaptor for the sony, which I don't have to do with the nook.
So I'm pretty much set on the nook color. I am having issues with the micro usb and want to exchange at least some part of it (adaptor or nook) to fix that. Very busy week this week, so I'll have to wait for next week (its an hour each way, if the borders are good to Bellingham).
Thankyou to everyone for all your help.
