eInk versus LCD model, if I have issues with both?

So I'm told Nook doesn't use activation for its DRM, but instead locks books with a password (credit card number), while of course Sony and Amazon use activation.

Because of that I'm thinking of replacing my damaged Kindle 2 with a Nook...only I'm not sure which one.

I really want eInk Pearl...the contrast seems dramatically better, and I hate buying another Viziplex (sp?) based eInk model.

I also don't want LCD. I stare at LCD screens all day...at work, at home for my TV...I like print, and after that eInk when I'm trying to read.

The Nook Color does seem like really amazing hardware for the price, and apparently uses an IPS screen, but still.

if B&N sold graphic novels or magazines that I subscribe to, maybe I'd be more tempted (although I think I'd still prefer a color eInk screen for those...or maybe even just black and white).

I'm also not a fan of touch screens. I like hardware buttons like the eInk Nook or Kindle have.

Basically I'd like the regular Nook, but with an updated eInk Pearl screen!

Any thoughts?
