Well, it's summer again, and I'm very glad I kept my Nook Classic.
I sucumbed to the siren song of the Nook Color right after Christmas - that beautiful screen! A solid browser! Read in the dark! But, in a rare display (for me, at least) of foresight, I kept my Classic. Who knows? Maybe the kids will use it.
Now summer, with all of its outdoor activities, is back again. Sitting by the pool, going to Lacrosse games, visiting the beach - all of these are pleasant with e-ink, and a glaring failure with LCD.
Now, though, it's the best of both worlds - Classic and Color. The only downsides are carrying both (when the situation warrants) and remembering which page I'm on.
So keep (or get) that e-ink device - the new Nook STR looks nice. But don't ditch the LCD. Winter's dreary skies aren't far off.
