jocampo and Poppaea hit the nail right on the head and agree with everything they said. Get the Sony.

When I was researching which ereader I wanted and almost bought a Nook, I discovered that the Nook still has the older first gen e-ink screen, so it doesn't look as sharp as the screen on the Sony. I also found that extra color touch bar at the bottom to be a waste of space and distracting while reading. They should have made better use of the space and increased the viewing window. And the white glossy plastic frame around the Nook I found to be the most distracting thing about it. It glares. It glares badly. Even though the glare wasn't on the text itself, I found myself constantly trying to tilt the Nook to eliminate the glare, it was that annoying.

Try the Sony someplace that will let you return it for full price, but I'm betting you'll fall in love with it after using it.
