I have considered the nook classic a few times, but every time I tried it (admittedly very briefly) I found the little touch screen at the bottom annoying, and I kept trying to use the rest of it as a touch screen as well. If you are used to that, then that's half the battle.
As to the weight, the color is heavier, but I find the weight more evenly distributed and so more comfortable than the classic where most of the weight seems to be at one end. (to me)
I can adjust the lighting so it is comfortable to read, but I do find when I read on e-ink it "feels" more like a book. I read a lot at night when my husband is sleeping though, so the backlit screen is useful for me. I would seriously considered the classic if it wasn't for my issues with the touch screen. I may even take another look at it.
