Wait to see what Amazon brings out for Kindle updates. The blogbuzz seems to be that they have a touch E-Ink model on the way in addition to Android color tablets as with the NC. Those should put price pressure on B&N.

Frankly, I am happy with my Sony Daily (for E-Ink - liking my Archos 5 with reader apps from everybody for all-around pocketable/night use, although "battery bulge syndrome" has it offline for now ) that I got from eBay for $180, and it still seems superior on the basis of spec lists. Also, the PRS+ add-on hacks make it even better.

However, $99 for a "simple", lightweight, compact, fast touch ereader would seem to be a great value proposition, so be patient if you can
