You can't obviously tell if the processor in the Nook is better as the one in the Sony and why. You just state no other reader has it yet. And? Maybe because it is crap? I don't know but you don't know either or you would tell me why it is better.

Do you think if you keep waving your hands the numbers will go away?
PRS 650 CPU: 532Mhz theoretical maximum. It may not actually run this fast.
Nook STR CPU: 800Mhz stock speed. The same CPU has been overclocked as high as 1300Mhz in other devices.
I'm sorry if you do not understand the other components I pointed out which make the Nook's hardware objectively more powerful and more flexible than the Sony's. The fact that the Nook has more powerful and flexible hardware does not mean that you must like the Nook better than your Sony. I am not saying so. No one is saying so.

So now you're expanding your trolling to nationality-baiting? Listen, someone else's preference for the Nook does not invalidate your preference for the Sony. Your identity will not crumble if you accept that someone somewhere has a legitimate use for Wi-Fi in an e-reader.
You're being fanatical, in the religious sense, about a gadget. It's silly.
