more than likely they have the same battery and same processor...

The new Nook has an 800 mhz TI OMAP CPU...the Kobo has a relatively new/unused freescale CPU...hard to tell which is faster.

In fact, the metal coloring is wearing off the bottom buttons so I've been reading using Aldiko on my phone so as to balance out the wear. Still, this reader gives me a serious case of the "I want that"s. I love the colors and quilted back. The Sony is a bit more... utilitarian.

Thanks, can't go wrong with some Kosh.
I think the Kobo is a nicer looking device, the statistics are better than the social networking B&N is trying to push.
I'm going with the new Nook when I upgrade, mainly for the physical page turn buttons. But the new Kobo looks nice too.
