Nook Color: The display is amazing. I still wasn't sure I was going to keep the Nook color till I actually turned mine on and saw the tutorial video pop up. compared to the relatively low-resolution display of the PRS-600, this was an absolute mind blower. Yes, it has all the problems that reading on an LCD is heir to: washed out in direct sun, a bit of an eye-strain in dim conditions, but still, spectacular. First thing I did was set the background screen to an astro-photo of a portion of the Orion Nebula. Very, very cool.

Winner: Nook Color, by a landslide.

I don't think it is the resolution that's the problem (they are very close in DPI), it's that the 600's touch string isn't as "clear"?
