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?

the nook eink had a firmware update done a couple of months ago v1.5 part of that update came with darker text. I and many feel this screen of the nook eink is on par with Pearl Screen. If you have a Best Buy near your home go and take a look. I think you'll find the difference to be very very minimal.
the nook's eink screen's contrast is excellent.
