I think I've stated about six different ways by now that there are legitimate reasons for preferring either product based on your priorities. You asked how the STR's hardware is more powerful and flexible, and I told you. It is more powerful and flexible by any measure. Whether that fact is important to you is a matter of preference. I was not arguing against your preference, simply answering your question.

0_o The Nook Touch has an 800Mhz CPU, probably the same ARM7 found in the Nook Color (we'll know after a teardown). No previously released e-ink reader had such a processor.
According to
this thread, the PRS 650 is running a Freescale CPU with maximum clock speed of 532Mhz.

Wifi, hm, to download books is a totally foreign concept for me. I do browse the bookstore with the laptop to make use of the bigger screen as I like to read excerpts or reviews about the books I am interested in. So it would be totally awkward to go for the reader, switch it on and search for the book on the little display just to download it via wifi, because that's just the thing to do to be a cool techno geek  |
And again, 0_o Having direct access to a store on your reader is about as far from being a "cool techno geek" as you can get. It skips all steps involving an actual computer and reduces the process to poke, poke, read. If you see no use for Wi-Fi in your reading, congratulations; some others feel the same way. That fact does not make other peoples' preference for wireless connectivity bad and wrong.
