Just thought I'd update this in that I've been looking at various devices again. I really want the Nook Color, but can't afford it this year, so I think I'll go with something in the $100-$130 range to get me by for now. My contenders are the Kindle with special offers (I don't think the ads will bother me); a $99 refurb Nook with Wifi and 3g from B&N (on ebay); and the Sony 350. I have to admit that after playing with them at the store, I really like the kindle and the Sony the best. The Nook just doesn't feel as good to me--it feels a bit cheap. That said, I hate that the Kindle doesn't have a touch screen, but it is a much lighter and nicer feeling device.
My favorite is the Sony, and I'm kind of leaning towards it, but I couldn't figure out if it has a keyboard? I tried to get one to come up and couldn't get it to. (I asked this question in the Sony part of the forum though, so will probably get an answer on that). Even though it doesn't have wifi, I really liked it's size and overall feel, and I could see being happy to have both it and my (still very much in the future) Nook Color, so....we'll see.
