This.
For some of us $50 or $100 out of the blue is a lot. I had some extra money because of my income tax return but now we have to save. I can't buy another e-reader right now. Simple as that.
I went to Best Buy today to take another look at the 350. I still had doubts about keeping the Nook. I do like the 350 but that is also not perfect. As in the past, I found the 5" screen to be too small for me. I've gotten use to the 6" screen of the Nook. I didn't realize how much bigger a 6" screen is until I compared the Nook and the Sony side by side. I guess the Sony is great for travel but I can see myself getting annoyed with reading the 5" screen while in bed. The 6" screen of the 650 would probably be better if I was going to replace the Nook. The touchscreen on the 350 was great and the contrast was great but I couldn't get over the size.
Plus, I'm beginning to warm up to the Nook more. I read it today outside and it was perfect for reading in sun. It was great to read on a screen that didn't washout. Plus, I can still fit the Nook into my purse (I tend to carry big purses).
There's probably no perfect reader for me. When I save some money, I'll invest in another reader. For now though, I'll be content with the one I have.
for all of your advice. Oh, ProfCrash, I'm glad you like your new K3.
