Sony PRS-350 is 5.47 oz and 4.1" x 5.7" x 0.33" (WxHxD), 5" screen, currently $120
Nook STR is 7.48 oz and 5.0" x 6.5" x 0.33" (WxHxD), 6" screen, currently $140
I'll keep my tried and proven Sony PRS-350. The Nook's WiFi is no advantage due to lack of browser, leaving the only advantage as the SD card capability, but that is outweighed IMO by the lackluster firmware of the Nook.
Here is a "to scale" image comparison of these two readers: A more fair comparison would have been between the Nook STR and the Sony PRS-650, but given the extreme rarity of 650s in the USA market I used the 350 instead.
