Also, I asked the associate about tags and she mentioned that she uses Calibre to organize them which didn't tell me whether or not the Nook could see them and whether or not you could search or organize using them. It was fast, but I didn't think it was that much faster than the 350. I liked the many font sizes in comparison, but it only reads pdfs and epubs. Not a big deal for me since it's really easy to convert lrfs to epubs in calibre. I liked the feel of the back in my hands, but not so much the UI since I'm used to the Sony one and the Aldiko one. Unfortunately, I only had a few minutes in the store since there was another woman waiting and playing with it for a few minutes was enough to convince me that I would rather go to the BB a few stores down and pick up the $199 PRS-950(or rather order it from another store and it will be in next Tuesday.)
Interesting.

I don't own a Sony, but have played before, just a bit. What do you like most from the Sony ... and can't remember now but what's the weight on the Sony .... the Nook Touch feels really nice on my hands ...
