I would not spend so much money on a eink ereader, like Sony, I believe they are expensive for what they really provide (without questioning the quality, of course) But between B&N classic and Sony, I would choose the Sony. The device itself is much better, more a dedicated e-reader thank anything else.

The Nook Classic touch screen is distractive, not so responsive and the main reason for the poor battery life. Outdoor is also hard to see, for not saying almost impossible, making difficult to navigate and browse, defeating a bit the main purpose of the e-ink screen.

The e-ink screen in the Sony is also better and uses most recent technology. The B&N classic, in terms of technology, is going to be an old model really soon.

If money is not an issue, get the Sony, otherwise, the B&N classic will give you a good balance between price and features, including wifi.
