How good (or bad) is the browser on the nook wifi?

Mostly I'd just "google" with it but I think I would like having the capability of using it.

I have a desktop and a laptop that I use to browse and I'm trying to decide between a nook wifi and a sony prs350.

I can get a real nice deal on the 350 BUT, as I say, I like the browser aspect of the nook wifi.

But if the nook wifi browser is essentially useless maybe it's not that important.

I have been at B&N a couple of times asking about the nook wifi but the "nook guy" there keeps trying to shove the nook color down my throat.

I ask him direct questions about the nook wifi and its browser and he evades the questions and keeps talking about the nook color.

He demonstrated the nook wifi browser for me once and it didn't seem bad but he keeps telling me how poor the wifi's browser is.

I think he gets a bigger commission from selling the nook color, or at least this is how it feels.

What do you leaned people think?

Thank you.
